May have to do with https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NU?p=NU and vesting periods :) A true computing thought leader. All the best Rich. My only complaint about you was not open-sourcing datomic and making it free for developers.

Amazing news. I saw a video cast of Rick during a meeting @ NuBank, and it looked like corporate life had sucked the life out of him [1]. So, I'm glad he got out of there, and I hope he's able to shake it off like a bad dream. Building something like Clojure require radical thinking, and creative freedom. I can only imagine how trying to fit that into your weekly scrum sprint would be draining. And in the monthly mee…

I wrote my first trading system in Clojure because a few of the libraries we relied on were in java. It was 2011 and I'd had about 3 years of lisp experience. I got a bit of side eye from people when I told them I was using a relatively new programming language but the fact that it was based on the JVM, which alot of HFT firms were using helped make the case. We didn't use if for more than a few years before it was r…
Doesn't it mean that Lisp macros should really be avoided at all costs?

It might have started with Rich, but by now starting a Clojure talk with the destructuring (heh) of a word is basically a meme at this point.
One of the funniest Conj talks ever.
Rich, I'll always be grateful to you for creating a language and community that got to the root of so many problems our industry still faces today. I'm confident it will continue to change the world as it has my own life.
