Editorial

Hello, Clojurinskis,

Ah, Clojure/Conj. I would love to go one day. I've been to three conferences this year (all by the lovely Alex Miller and all supremely awesome) and I just could not justify the fourth. But, oh, to be there! To smell the parens wafting through the air, to rub elbows with the maintainers of the great libraries we know and love, and to get a piece of that Clojure birthday cake! Maybe next year.

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Eric Normand

P.S. I love hearing from readers. Just reply to this email!

P.P.S. My videos are still available!

Softw are

Caribou

A new "web application ecosystem". By "ecosystem", it looks like they mean "set of libraries that work well together". It looks well-built and worth a look.

Watching

Hypercard Video

A blast from the past. The software is dated, but Hypercard is still unequaled in terms of ease of building a robust, end-user application.
