Marco Dalla Stella @mdallastella@functional.cafe

I’m a generalist with 15 years professional experience and engineering/computer science degrees. Full-stack Ruby, ReasonML most recently with a fair bit of Rust on the side.

Looking for a role in Melbourne AU or remote friendly. Would love to work a bit lower down the stack, systems level, embedded, OS, networking for example. Want to work for a business that values quality and correctness, not just deadlines and piling on technical debt.

Pls boost for reach 🙏

#Clojure 1.10 is out https://clojure.org/news/2018/12/17/clojure110

Since you might have lost it I recently published a thorough tutorial to doing machine learning in #Clojure with #XGBoost https://www.rdisorder.eu/2018/12/03/machine-learning-clojure-xgboost/

Command-line apps with #Clojure and GraalVM: 300x better start-up times: https://www.astrecipes.net/blog/2018/07/20/cmd-line-apps-with-clojure-and-graalvm/

Also recommend taking a look at the lein-native-image plugin that makes compiling for Graal painless

Was using Incanter for #clojure #datascience yesterday and really impressed. Usability is significantly better compared to pandas and matplotlib - I was able to get a lot more done with less referring to docs and examples.

I think this is partly because Incanter plays nicely with Clojure core abstractions, partly because the REPL experience is better and partly because it’s a more expressive language anyway. Looking forward to using it more.
