We talk to master Calva distiller Peter, and talk about how he has been building "best Clojure experience for VS Code users" If you are a VSCode user - checkout Calva https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva To sponsor all the amazing work Peter has been doing goto : https://github.com/sponsors/PEZ

We had the pleasure meeting Dave at Heart of Clojure, and he joins our podcast with his own music composition program https://alda.io with live performance at the end. Listen now for more juicy details on how Dave ended up with Clojure from Music, how Alda is built, and the future!

garyGary tests us with his Clojure and general knowledge. The quality of Gary's track isn't the best but it has been scrubbed as clean as the DEFN audio crew can get it. We hope that you will agree that the content is good enough for you to forgive us just this once. We hope you enjoy the episode and you can check out Gary's great work, especially on the amazing QuineDB, at GitHub https://github.com/gfredericks

We meet the king of JDBC and discover his many other areas of expertise. A gentle and warm conversation with a delightful gent. Enjoy his many repos and links to his other work https://github.com/seancorfield

For our #50 episode we catch up with Michiel Borkent from the the Netherlands to discuss old English literature, Haskell and a bit of Clojure and the tools he is building to help the Clojure Devs!

#39 - Cult member echo chamber FTW with Dmitri Sotnikov aka @yogthos by defn

We run underwater before surfacing with Valentin as he heads off to Hammock Mountain for some climbing and cogitation.

It's a miserable life but made tolerable for some of us with CIDER. We skip gaily through a mire of existential woes and somehow feel better for it afterwards. We hope you enjoy the therapy as much as we did.

# 36 The Tao of Peter aka @ptaoussanis by defn

Heller woke podcast where Thomas cuts a sharp silhouette while discussing his work on the awesome shadow-cljs

Mike tells us how ClojureScript has finally steered him towards a decent replacement for Flash. There are many pearls of wisdom from the reframe supremo including his insights on documentation and we could listen forever to his views on finite state machines. More info and links over on https://defn.audio

We talk with Pierre-Yves about how he uses Clojure in the Cloud and why he and his co-founders are betting the business on it. Vijay also wants to submit to bit-masking. Yeah, so be sure to listen to the end. More information and links are posted on the website http://defn.audio

Conrad speaks clearly about his love of LISP and how that evolved into Clojure. His projects have been inspired by teaching and remaining true to the spirit of LISPs as a toolkit for building languages and now we see that being brought to the blockchain. It never grows old ! More information at the web site https://defn.audio

Oh man, so nice to speak with Bruce. He is such a great programmer and has inspired the whole Clojure community with his amazing tools. It's a long episode, as it should be.

The towering intellect of Mr Tellman is manifold. Bit of a #Clojure joke there. This is a LOOOONG high density episode so strap in. Also, take your time. Breath. And enjoy! Go over to the web site for information and links https://defn.audio

Our theory was that one day, with enough swearing, we could reach a zen like understanding with our guests. Here's the proof. Watch the heck out 2018.

Hold on to your Explicit Tags cowboys as we take this wild ride into the dynamic world of Clojure's own Bob Ross aka Mr Zach Oakes. There is a special surprise at the end for those who can take the pace ! A very, very proud Happy Clojuremas to one and all.

An entertaining episode with the Max Penet who has made his own keyboards as well as some popular Clojure libraries for noSQL databases. [ We know the track is slightly crackly but we think the content is good so we hope that it's good enough for the non-audiopholes out there ]

Daniel speaks to us from a room of ethereal light and inspiration. As well as being as an expert on New Zealand geography, he is a stalwart of the Clojure community working on flashy GUIs and essential infrastructure projects. More show notes at https://defn.audio

We talk with David about the mind blowing possibilities that have emerged with ClojureScript over the past few years and how it is set to rocket into the future.

Where we talk with The Joy [ Clarke ] of EuroClojure Joy gave a talk at EuroClojure about keeping security simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRHPZXKQVLk&index=8&list=PLZdCLR02grLpzt6WENiHe16-vx74VbCw_ Security makes us all feel vulnerable and we had a safe space in Berlin. As usual we bang on about frameworks and libs. Joy gives Emacs one finger (rather than all 10) and uses NightCoder. Check out her sketch notes from the conference and other places on here Twitter feed.

Where we talk about mould, scala and then the good stuff Fulcro is an opinionated take on om.next that will save you tons of work Tony is a true gent
