Notes.

Yesterday I watched the Clojure Documentary which I think was wonderful. Rich and the community around Clojure seems like such a nice place that I instantly get keen on revisiting Clojure.

I did some programming in Clojure back in 2013 and I quite like it. But at that point in time I enjoyed dynamically typed languages. Today I value type-safety very highly. So, maybe it is time to challenge myself and use Clojure again for something?

Even if you do not use Clojure, I recommend you to watch the documentary. It is an interesting piece of computer science history nonetheless.

Clojure - The Documentary

My new project Albumklubben (Swedish for "The Album Club") is progressing nicely!

This is a project I have started several times but never finished. It is one of these projects that you spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about, but that might never take off.

What is it? It is a small social network for music lovers. I used to have a Facebook group that took turns pitching an album every week. I am rarely on Facebook any more, and this is a great excuse to build something new!

The club will start invite only, and, as you can see, in Swedish (as I enjoy quite a lot of Swedish music).

Inspired by this blog, I decided to also add a shoutbox to my site. It is wired to a Telegram bot on my phone, which turned out to be super simple and free!

Silly me, I thought I needed to jump through the hoops to host a mail server.
