Clojure: Long-Term Funding Update and Ecosystem Overhaul
In the latest update on Clojure's long-term funding, the author shares personal news and discusses the progress made in the ecosystem and tutorials sections. Despite facing personal challenges, including the loss of a loved one and contracting COVID-19, the author managed to incorporate community feedback into the tools.build cookbook. They also reviewed and updated the content page, removing outdated information. The focus then shifted to the language section, where the author updated several pages from Clojure 1.5 to Clojure 1.11, ensuring code examples still worked and adding new examples to reflect current practices. The author plans to make further passes to address remaining items. Additionally, the HoneySQL library saw significant changes, including support for temporal queries and improvements to INSERT statement handling. The Polylith project also underwent updates to switch to plain tools.build usage. This update showcases the dedication of the Clojure community and highlights the continuous improvement of the language and its associated tools.
