[ANN] Job Opening for Full Stack Web Developer
Howdy Clojurians, Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) is seeking a new Full Stack Web Developer to build Clojure/Clojurescript web applications in the realm of environmental mapping and modeling. The position is fully remote, but applicants with work hours that correlate well with North American time zones are preferred. SIG is an environmental think-tank, comprised of around 35 core members with backgrounds in natural resource management, city and urban planning, wildland fire science, hydrologic modeling, carbon credit trading, forest management, remote sensing, computer science, and environmental mapping and modeling. Applicants should be comfortable building Clojure web apps built on a stack like Ring+Jetty+Reagent+Herb+OpenLayers+next.jdbc+Postgresql, building projects with the Clojure CLI tools (deps.edn), collaborating over Github/Gitlab with clean branch management and code reviews, and deploying to remote GNU/Linux VMs over SSH. Strong communication skills are a must since all of our work will be done online. Experience with GIS and geospatial analysis and data sharing with tools like GDAL/OGR, PostGIS, and GeoServer are a definite plus.

Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom CfP
We are excited to announce a devroom on Declarative and Minimalistic Computing at FOSDEM on Sunday February 7th 2021, online! FOSDEM is one of the most important free software conferences and is hosted annually at Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium. Unfortunately this year FOSDEM will not run a physical conference but will be online only. Talks will be pre-recorded with some live content including Q sessions and discussion panels. We accept talks from languages that attempt to minimize use of hardware and software while try to make systems simpler, more robust and more secure. If you are working on improving today's systems taking declarative/minimalistic approaches feel free to submit a talk proposal. Examples are Scheme/Lisp family of programmings languages. Minimalism and declarative programming are two important topic for this devroom. Minimalism matters. Minimalism allows for smaller systems that take less resources and consume less energy. More importantly, free and open source minimalism allows for secure systems that are easy to understand. Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Many languages that apply this style attempt to minimize or eliminate side effects by describing what the program must accomplish in terms of the problem domain, rather than describe how to accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language primitives. Finally, in this year's virtual conference we will honour the late Professor Edsger Dijkstra as a pioneer who laid foundations for many of these ideas. We have a room Sunday 6 February 2021. We want to invite you to submit a talk on declarative and minimalistic computing that fits that description. We are especially happy to receive talk submissions from members of groups underrepresented in free software. If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers, please E-mail us! Talks considered for the devroom will have to be entered in - https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM21 The deadline for submission is December 15th. If you have a FOSDEM pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Otherwise add one on https://penta.fosdem.org/user/new_account. Reach out to pjotr.public...@thebird.nl or manolis...@gmail.com if you run into any trouble. When submitting your talk make doubly sure to select "Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom" as track (if you don't we won't find it), and include the following information: * The title and subtitle of your talk * A short abstract of one paragraph * A longer description if you wish to do so * Links to related websites/blogs etc * Presentations has to be pre-recorded and streamed before the event. * Start recording early! To see what a final talk looks like see https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/gnumes/ For accepted talks * Once your talk was accepted, we will assign you an organiser to help you to produce the pre-recorded content. * The organiser will review the content and ensure it has the required quality. He is also responsable to ensure the content is into the system and ready to broadcast. * During the stream of your talk, you must be available online for the Q/A session Let's make this a fun day! = Organisers = Manolis Ragkousis, Ludovic Courtès, Jan Nieuwenhuizen, Pjotr Prins (pjotr.public...@thebird.nl), William Byrd, Ricardo Wurmus, Alex Sassmannshausen, Amirouche Boubekki, Efraim Flashner, Bonface M.

Clojure integration with JuliaLang
Good afternoon/morning Clojurians, Over the thanksgiving weekend I finished up enough of a library for calling Julia from Clojure to start talking about it publicly. Julia sits kind of at the pinnacle of the numerics stack. It is a generalized very high performance language specifically designed to make mathematical and scientific computing clearer, more enjoyable, and more correct. In the techascent stack, it sits just *after* something like Smile's BLAS binding but just *before* TVM. Unlike a specific blas binding, you can write bespoke code in Julia and it is highly optimized for you. Unlike TVM, the language is Turing complete. Julia has the best solvers known to computer science and it has a fully differentiable computing stack. I think it points the way forward in terms of dense and sparse style numeric computing. It has great metaprogramming capabilities and a community of extremely capable people pushing it forward. Pairing Julia tightly with Clojure allows us to use their vast libraries of scientific computing and gives us an avenue to take advantage of truly cutting edge numeric research directly. I would like Julia people to enjoy using Clojure and vice versa. This is absolutely a hair-on-fire early release. I put this forward in order to just let everyone know it is concretely possible and to open the door for people who may be interested in helping out. https://github.com/cnuernber/libjulia-clj Enjoy, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
