Wrangling Sequences Like a Cowboy with Injest
Details
This online free workshop is part of the re:Clojure 2021 series of pre-conference workshops.
https://www.reclojure.org/#workshops
Note: This workshop covers material that is best understood by reviewing a prior workshop: “The Structure and Interpretation of Clojure Transducers” by Ben Sless.
Recording of Ben's workshop: https://bit.ly/recording--transducers-2021-11-15
Summary: Injest provides thread macros (e.g. x>>, =>>) that lower the bar to higher performance by letting you compose transducers in the same way as you would with ->>. In this workshop we will introduce you to injest’s three main features: path threads, auto transducification and auto parallelization. Then, we’ll go over some real world examples of transforming (wrangling) data sequences. We’ll spend the remaining time of the workshop in an open session, answering questions and trying things out at the REPL. I might even wear a cowboy hat, in further jest 🤠
About John Newman:
I started using Clojure in the US Army, scripting systems, networking and security tasks across a number of sites in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, when I got out the army there weren't that many Clojure jobs. I could have gotten a job doing Java - but why would I do that when I could just do CyberSecurity? Easier and better pay! :) So in 2010, I started contracting as a Security Officer for clients in Washington DC, often using Clojure to organize and analyze security event data. But as the years went by and an industry sprouted up around Clojure, I could no longer resist the call of the craft and in 2015 decided to take a job developing Clojure full time. I started working on linked-data ontologies with the geniuses at Yet Analytics. Then I worked on loan approval automation with the hackers at Dividend Finance. Now I'm building a team of Clojurists that develop the mortgage application webapps at Guaranteed Rate.
