On 2025-03-26, the [Clojure visual-tools group](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/visual-tools/) had its 32th meeting. This was the sixth of a series of meetings where people would demonstrate their Clojure workflows with different tools.

Nine people attended.

## Brief summary

We had two mind-opening demos:

- @adi - Keeping it Old-Tool: REPL habits of a grug-brained Clojurist
- @kapil - Vibe coding with Clojurescript and Clojure

Each provided a thoughtful mix of workflow practices and ideas. The REPL, Emacs, Org-mode, LLMs, Aider, and MCP were a few of the topics discussed.  
We also had a long and thoughtful discussion afterwards, some of which was recorded.

A few additional resources will be shared here in the comments in a day or two.

For the text chat, see the topic thread at the Clojurians Zulip chat: [# **visual-tools\>meeting 32**](https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/313390-visual-tools/topic/meeting.2032/with/508242624).
