Howard Lewis Ship on Clojure at GatorJUG
Howard gave a talk about Clojure last night at the GatorJUG. Wow! We all learned so much. Howard used IntelliJ Idea to code on the fly from memory. We saw some sweet functionality and I think we're all excited about learning more. If you missed last…Continue

Delivered a Clojure presentation for GatorJUG.
Larry Diehl's Clojure presentation for OrlandoJUG will be on February 26. It looks like his presentation will be more thorough, including discussion of multimethods and charting/graphing.

I wrote an article about authentication and authorization in Compojure, in which I show how to create a login form and restrict pages to authorized users.

I wrote an article about using PostgreSQL with Compojure, in which I describe setting up PostgreSQL on Ubuntu, adding a PostgreSQL JDBC library to the classpath, retrieving database records with clojure.contrib.sql, and rendering HTML with compojure.html.

So far I have found a small number of people interested in it, yes. But, I'm the only person that I know that is programming anything with it at the moment.
Hopefully after the OrlandoJUG presentation I'll be able to gauge interest more accurately.
The number of people that are interested in Orlambda will also affect the kinds of presentations. If a lot of people end up being interested, then the meetings would be slower and more introductory.
But, I think it's more likely that a small group of people (<10) would come at first. If that's the case then it could be more fun because we would be able to assume knowledge after the first couple meetings, and move into more complex and interesting presentations.

Have you found anyone else in Orlando that's interested in Clojure? It's a long drive from Gainesville, but I could probably come for weekend meetings.

I should also mention that I'm trying to put together a Clojure users group for Orlando, you can follow that progress here: http://orlambda.ning.com

I moved from Ruby to Common Lisp, and now Clojure. In fact, I'll be giving a Clojure presentation in February for the OrlandoJUG :)

Larry, your Cry article makes it look like you miss using Lisp. Why are you using Ruby instead?

Hey Eric, saw that on the mailing list. Didn't know you were in Gainesville, I'm down in Orlando.

I wrote an article about setting up Compojure on a Slicehost server.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

InfoQ Reading List
Advance Your Socio-Technical Architecture Skills with InfoQ’s New Online Cohorts
Enhance your architectural leadership with InfoQ’s new online cohorts starting April 15, May 7, and June 10, 2026. Led by Luca Mezzalira, this 5-week program focuses on socio-technical skills like ADRs, platform engineering, and AI trade-offs. Senior practitioners can apply frameworks to live projects, earn ICSAET certification, and contribute to the InfoQ community.
By Ian RobinsMaking Retrospectives Effective with Small Concrete Actions and Rotating Facilitators
Teams can run regular retrospectives that focus on 1–2 concrete weekly actions to avoid complaint circles, Natan Žabkar Nordberg mentioned at QCon London. You can rotate facilitators to build ownership, with each one bringing their own unique perspective. He suggested framing bigger changes as 4–6 week experiments, then vote to keep, tweak, or revert, ensuring learning and continuous improvement.

Amazon Web Services has introduced Strands Labs, a new GitHub organization created to host experimental projects related to agent-based AI development.
By Daniel DominguezClaude Opus 4.6 Introduces Adaptive Reasoning and Context Compaction for Long-Running Agents
Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 introduces "Adaptive Thinking" and a "Compaction API" to solve context rot in long-running agents. The model supports a 1M token context window with 76% multi-needle retrieval accuracy. While leading benchmarks in agentic coding, independent tests show a 49% detection rate for binary backdoors, highlighting the gap between SOTA claims and production security.
