I like how this Vice article on newly discovered public domain books (because 80% of authors didn't extend their copyright after 28 years prior to 1964) mentions the Mastodon bot @SecretlyPublicDomain in passing. Yay for the Fediverse, and the public domain!

I'm announcing panthera: a #Clojure wrapper around pandas and numpy for all your data sciencey work!

The library is still alpha, but there's already a lot of stuff to have fun with. So give it a run, if you like it star it and any kind of feedback is accepted!!!

I am organizing a #Scheme coding competition where you have to build a static blog generator with a mystery feature (that will be revealed little by little in the next few months).

We have already one sponsor and are actively looking for other sponsors to reward the participants 🥇 🥈 🥉 (goodies, cloud credits, books...).

Boost appreciated!

I'll do my best to release #Choqok 1.7 next week (7th July), then I'll merge #mastodon support into master and I do really hope to release 1.8 during this summer.

The website migration is still incomplete too: I've to restore comments and content's web pages need to be updated/adjusted.

We do also need a review of opened bugs and a list of things to be implemented (sorted by priority?).

If you want to help, there's a lot to do! Let's #ReviveChoqok

What do we want?

Lazy evaluation!

When do we want it?

Only when it is needed!!!!
