Recorded November 12th, 2011, the fourth and final recording in a series of conversations from Clojure Conj 2011.
Chris Houser (usually known as chouser online) has been working with Clojure longer than nearly anyone else; he started tinkering with the language in early 2008, and was a fixture in #clojure irc and on the mailing list for years. His contributions to the language, early libraries, and community through his always genial and insightful presence are hard to overstate. More recently, he has coauthored the excellent Joy of Clojure along with Michael Fogus, and is now working with Clojure daily over at Lonocloud.
It’s been my privilege to know and work with Chris a bit over the years, and, as always, it was great to talk with him in person.
Enjoy!

Discrete Topics
- “Everything I learned, I [learned] on irc?!”
- Macros (a.k.a. “compile time metaprogramming”) in Scala? Project Kepler
- Rich Hickey once made a visit to the Western Mass. Developer’s Group, and delivered one of his great early talks on Clojure, complete with an ants demo. My post on the event, and video.
- “Tooling is a canard.”
- Chouser wrote “the first ClojureScript” years ago, a proof of concept using JavaScript as a host for a Clojure implementation. (Don’t go looking for it, I think it’s dropped off the internets by now; check out the “real” ClojureScript if you want a Clojure for JavaScript.)
- error-kit — don’t use that though, you should almost surely use Slingshot instead for advanced error handling
