Sneaky ways to get people to learn Clojure

[James Elliott]

As a spinoff from Afterglow 
, my Clojure-based 
live-coding environment for light shows, I’ve created a library 
 that facilitates 
synchronizing things with Pioneer’s professional DJ equipment. And then I 
was talked into creating an example application 
 showing 
how to use it. With the help of seesaw and inspector-jay, among other great 
Clojure and Java libraries, I was able to quickly create something far more 
useful than I expected, and people are starting to find it.

Of course, I provide an embedded editor for you to use Clojure expressions 
to customize and extend it, so I have DJs and show producers around the 
world learning a little Clojure as an unexpected outcome. Thankfully our 
community has great learning resources I can point them towards as well! 
Thus it is being used successfully at events like this one 

:




If anyone is curious to see how Afterglow itself has come along since I 
first announced it here last year, the recording of the presentation I gave 
to the Madison Clojure Meetup, Afterglow: Live Coding for Light Shows 
, turned out halfway decent, especially once 
I added captions.


Thanks again to everyone who helped me in my own learning and coding 
journey in this wonderful environment!
