What we’re about
An open and friendly community that supports the adoption and practice of Clojure in any of its forms.
Clojure is a great way to learn functional programming thanks to a small and well-crafted syntax and focus on simplicity. Clojure is a powerful, productive and fun language, based on LISP and hosted on Java, JavaScript, Microsoft CLR, GraalVM, and Golang.
London Clojurians is a very active community with several events per month, including technical talks, coding dojo's, hackdays and a yearly conference. We hope you will join us and increase your knowledge and appreciation of Clojure and add your own experiences to our community.
If you would like to propose a talk please fill out the following form: https://bit.ly/ldnclj and one of the organisers will be in touch with you.

Title: Programming with Linear Algebra: Hello World
Speaker: Dragan Djuric
Time: 2024-05-14 @ 18:30 (London time)
Local time: click here for local timeDragan Djuric (https://dragan.rocks/) will be presenting:
"Programming with Linear Algebra: Hello World"Kick-starting the understanding of an unfamiliar topic might be the steepest point in any programming journey. Following the recent AI boom, you might be hearing about matrices and tensors left and right, you probably even know some basics from your math education, but you simply can't see how to use that in daily programming, in tasks that are not straight out of sci-fi. You might even have tried some software libraries, but haven't progressed beyond using them as fancy arrays. Here, we'll help you take that first step right away, and - if you take it - show you a path that can lead you quite further.
Dragan has been using Clojure for 15 years for fun and profit, and has been teaching programming and AI at university for even longer. He loves leaning new topics, and finding a way how to make them work in practice. Loves teaching even more. The author of a few nice Clojure libraries (https://github.com/uncomplicate) and a fer Clojure books (https://aiprobook.com).

Title: FDB - a reactive database environment for your files
Speaker: Filipe Silva
Time: 2024-05-28 @ 18:30 (London time)
Local time: click here for local timeFilipe Silva (https://github.com/filipesilva) will be presenting:
"FDB - a reactive database environment for your files"In this talk you'll learn how to use FDB to create your own custom automations and integrations so you can easily take control of data and use it however you want. FDB is a live reactive system based on Clojure and XTDB, aiming to give you a lot of power and expressivity with little effort. You can find it at https://github.com/filipesilva/fdb.
Filipe loves working on developer tooling, personal knowledge systems, and databases. He's now at Metabase, and previously worked at Athens/Roam Research and Angular.

Title: Introducing EntityGraph: Ergonomic Data Store for SPA State
Speaker: Geo Grigoryan
Time: 2024-06-11 @ 18:30 (London time)
Local time: click here for local timeGeo Grigoryan (https://github.com/geodrome) will be presenting:
"Introducing EntityGraph: Ergonomic Data Store for SPA State"EntityGraph is an in-memory data store with pull query support for Clojure(Script). It leverages Clojure’s hash maps for EAV and AVE indexes. We’ll do an overview of state management approaches for SPAs and walk through the design and associated trade-offs of EntityGraph.
Geo is an independent software engineer. He’s been working with Clojure(Script) since 2013. He has worked on data intensive applications as well as full-stack applications. He’s also worked with C++, Java, PHP, and a number of other languages.
