Hey, I know you guys didn’t know what to do over the weekends since there were no postings on disclojure. Well, that situation is no more!
On Saturdays I will post about what happened a year ago in the Clojure universe. This way we’ll see how far we’ve all moved in just one year :)
Below is the first post of this series
Enjoy,
Toni.
