On 2025-03-24, the [Clojure visual-tools group](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/visual-tools/) had its 31th meeting. This was the fifth of a series of meetings where people would demonstrate their Clojure workflows with different tools.

Five people attended.

In the meeting, @daslu gave an overview of [Clay](https://scicloj.github.io/clay/), a REPL-friendly tool for data visualization and literate programming.
