New SCI version dropped which now supports async/await in CLJS!
And new #nbbcljs dropped which uses the newest SCI. Demo:
$ npx nbb@1.4.206
Welcome to nbb v1.4.206!
user=> (defn ^:async foo [] (let [x (await (js/Promise.resolve 1))] (inc x)))
#'user/foo
user=> (foo)
#<Promise 2>

That feeling when you want to find the circle at the intersection of two spheres and the code is:
(cga/meet sphere1 sphere2)
;; => circle
In #Clojure, if you query a set for a member, and that member is present, that member is returned:
user=> (#{:a :b :c} :a)
:a
The traditional #Lisp function ASSOC has the signature
(ASSOC store key) => value
where store is assumed to be a list of (key . value) dotted pairs.
In the experimental Lisp I'm working on, I want you to be able to put maps onto assoc lists as well as (key . value) pairs, which raises the questions...

What makes a FREE #clojure conference possible? Great speakers, a fun crowd but most importantly: our great sponsors! A big shoutout to Exoscale https://www.exoscale.com/ for supporting us AGAIN in 2026! 👏

Seems like I'll be doing a lighting talk at DCD: Bringing async/await from Squint to ClojureScript!
(Perhaps a full talk later in the year somewhere else?)

When I was doing #clojure being able to use Visual Studio Code with the Calva plugin was game changing! So useful that you don't have to learn an editor to learn a programming language!
The next #babashka version will have an improved console REPL. No more rlwrap needed. Multi-line expressions can be entered and edited. Moreover: completions!
Test out the dev version with:
bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babashka/babashka/master/install) --dev-build --dir .
Clojure on Wasm
Using ChatGPT 5.2 to generate #clojure code is still borderline useless (eg it tends to fail using threading macros with custom defined functions). Has anybody had more success with other models/tools?
We're doing a #Clojure meetup in #Leuven, #Belgium on Tuesday, February 24th. Save the date! Spread the word! And come join us!
