Clojure Berlin

Hello everyone,

This month we're being hosted at Red Pineapple Media.

Our Agenda for the Evening:

• Building a CI Pipeline with ClojureScript — Misha Karpenko

ClojureScript has shown itself as a great language of choice to build single-page web applications. Can it dethrone shell scripting when it comes to building CI pipelines? In this presentation, we'll look at one real-world working example of such a pipeline, and discuss the cons and pros of using ClojureScript in this context.

Misha (https://twitter.com/mishakarpenko) is a Co-Founder and Software Engineer at Pitch (https://pitch.com) — a Berlin-based startup committed to building a next-generation presentation software. When Misha's not working, he most likely hangs out with his family and friends, does some sports activities or tinkers on his bicycle.

• Carp: A Language for the 21st Century — Veit Heller (https://veitheller.de/)

Carp is a statically typed, compiled Lisp that’s deeply rooted in Clojure. It also takes inspirations from Rust, in that it uses a borrow checker to manage memory. This allows us to create a powerful, pretty Lisp that combines great C interoperability, safe memory semantics, and inferred types to make your life easy and enjoyable. In one sentence: it is to C as Clojure is to Java.

Veit is one of the core maintainers of Carp. As his day job he works as the CTO at Port Zero, a small Berlinian consultancy. He likes to build programs for domains he knows nothing about.

Clojure Berlin adheres to the Berlin Code of Conduct (http://berlincodeofconduct.org/de/).
