On: Clojure's machine learning ecosystem

Aren't they having problems with new Java versions? Heard someone say something along those lines a while ago, or I misunderstood.

It also seems Rich Hickey kind of stopped doing interesting talks, and some big bank bought into it and no one really likes banks.

It is not true, currently I'm maintaining a desktop app which is shipped to 3 different platforms and 3 architectures (x86, x86-64, arm64) and runs various versions of JRE (from jre8 to jre22). Most (90%) of the libraries are fully compatible, only some are using latest features such as virtual threads, but it is easy to avoid.

OK, good to hear. Couldn't find anything clear about it when web searching and looking at documentation.

Interesting is subjective, but Rich gave a talk at the most recent Clojure Conj.

I looked at ClojureTV and that's all I saw from recent years.

There was a bit of a conference hiatus worldwide due to the pandemic, but the Clojure community (including Rich) is definitely still active.

None of this is true.

Sure, nothing is true, everything is permitted.
