+
+== What is happening
+
+Not much is happening, since August has been a vacation month. When there was time, I worked on wrapping up https://github.com/scicloj/wolframite[Wolframite] and its documentation.
+
+== Gems from the world wide web

+<p><span class="link">👓 <a href="https://github.com/potetm/fusebox">potetm/fusebox: An extremely lightweight fault tolerance library for Clojure</a> [library, clojure, devops]</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-line;">An extremely lightweight fault tolerance library for Clojure. Provides Bulkhead, Circuit Breaker, Fallback, Memoize, Rate Limit, Retry, Timeout, Register, Bulwark. It aims at being simple, favoring functions over options and callbacks.</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-line;">Noteworthy: "These utilities are identical to Resilience4J at their core, but thanks to immutable data, namespaced keys, and a dash of macros, Clojure affords us <em>much</em> simpler implementations."</span></p><p><span class="link">👓 <a href="https://grishaev.me/en/clojure-with-retry/">Clojure AntiPatterns: the with-retry macro</a> [opinion]</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-line;">In short, think really hard whether retrying a failed operation makes sense, and beware the negative side-effects (longer timeouts, flood of logs, compounding retries, ...). Especially do not retry on errors where retry cannot help (404, bad credentials, ...). Valuable lessons there! </span></p><p><span class="link">👓 <a href="https://explain.dalibo.com/">explain.dalibo.com</a> [tool, database, performance]</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-line;">A little buggy but still extremely useful visualizer of PostgreSQL explain data. My dear colleague Jo has used it to troubleshoot a query that he managed to bring down from 4 min to few seconds. (The trick was replacing in with unnest - it seems to create an in-memory table, which is much efficient to search, then the flat list of IN.)</span></p>

+== What is happening
+
+I have been to https://2024.heartofclojure.eu/[Heart of Clojure] in Belgium, which was a wonderful experience. And I am not saying that only thanks to the home-made waffles. And the pralines. A cozy city, good food, very nice people from all around (primarily) Europe. Surprisingly many expats like me :-). Some talks and workshops I really enjoyed as well. Though the best part was meeting and chatting with people new and old that I meet rarely or never before in the real life, such as a gang from Czech Republic, Lovro, Ben, Sigmund, Sami, Colin, and too many others to name. I've also had a very nice lunch with my tai-chi chuan teacher. If/when the talks come online, I can recommend James Reeve's Living With Legacy Code, XTDB's Richer SQL — Steering SQL's Future Towards Clojure's Philosophy. Sami's Sailing with Scicloj: A Bayesian Adventure demonstrates well the maturity and power of the SciCloj ecosystem for scientific computing. I hear that Staring into the PLFZABYSS - From the IBM AS/400 to Clojure & Datomic was very insightful.
+
+All my remaining time has been consumed by writing and improving documentation of https://github.com/scicloj/wolframite[Wolframite], our Clojure - Wolfram bridge. Both me and Thomas have done a great job and it is turning out to be one of the best documented Clojure libraries. Which is necessary, since we are introducing a wholly new thing to two very different audiences - Wolfram to Clojurians and Clojure to scientists. https://scicloj.github.io/wolframite/[You can see for yourself] our work in progress. After I finish https://github.com/scicloj/wolframite/pull/128[my current review], I will get back to writing a https://scicloj.github.io/wolframite/for_developers.demo_analysis_cycling.html[demo of using Wolfram(ite) to analyze bike trips for Clojurians] - writing it is a great way to finally learn Wolfram 😅 and to discover more ways to improve the library. I hope to wrap the documentation up in a few weeks, and then we can focus on preparing some talks and workshops we want to have ready when we announce v1. We also are looking for beta testers, either from the Clojure or scientific communities - if you know anyone, let me know!
+
+I haven't had any time for Fulcro or Rama in the last months, but I am looking forward to coming back to both of them...
