clojureD 2021: "Calva says: Welcome to Clojure!" by Peter Strömberg

Peter Strömberg introduces Calva, the Clojure extension for Visual Studio Code, explaining its architecture and community-driven development.

How do you turn curiosity about Clojure into an actual attempt to try it out? For fans of Visual Studio Code, one thing making this decision easier is if they see that they can have the company of their trusty editor friend on this exploration. And if they like what they find, it should be seamless and easy to bring their favorite editor into real-world Clojure projects and become valuable members of the community. Calva accepts this recruitment mission and runs with it. In this talk: Learn about the Calva team's approach. Check out the feature set. Take a peek behind the scenes of the tool smiths community in pooling their resources and passions into creating rich and welcoming Clojure environments. Get a glimpse of the Calva architecture, where the building blocks made and maintained by the community, fall into place to form a whole, greeting and treating Clojurians.
