This was my first year doing Advent of Code. Previous years I had other stuff I wanted to do with my free time besides sit at a computer even more than I already do… after seeing some of my coworkers post epic solutions I got FOMO and joined the challenge.
What’s up everyone. I gave an epic talk at Clojure/conj 2024 a few months back, you can watch it on YouTube here: “Getting 50,000 Companies on Board with Clojure” by Cam Saul. Enjoi!
I gave a talk about a library I wrote called Methodical at Clojure/north 2020. Methodical ports the “generic method” parts of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) to Clojure in a Clojurey way. As far as I can tell, it’s the best/most complete port of the CLOS to Clojure out there, even though it only ports a subset of CLOS.
Not a day goes by without someone asking me the recipe for Cam’s House Sauce, widely considered one of the greatest hot sauces in the world. Surely you are familiar with its delicate and subtle blend of habanero with notes of cinnamon and cherry.
Methodical, my Clojure library that ports the “generic function” part of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) to Clojure (and makes multimethods way more powerful) just got even more powerful. Methodical now supports dispatch on partial defaults!
