Clojure JVM plus Erlang BEAM equals Clojerl by Juan Facorro

Juan Facorro introduces Clojerl, an implementation of Clojure that runs on the Erlang BEAM virtual machine.

The London Clojurians are happy to present: Title: **Clojure - JVM + BEAM = Clojerl** Speaker: **Juan Facorro** Slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1jkYf7ZCuwh1rjtzi4Svpuuy4NiskMtqe/vi… Code: github.com/jfacorro/clojure-london-virtual-meetup-2021-05-11 Juan Facorro (github.com/jfacorro) will be presenting: Clojure was designed to be a hosted language, it is meant to run on more platforms than the JVM, which is part of the reason why Clojerl (github.com/clojerl) was born. The BEAM (the name for the Erlang VM) is a powerful virtual machine that offers tools and mechanisms to build resiliency into the systems that run on it. This session will explore some of these aspects and how you can use them while staying in the comfort of your Clojure home. After working with object-oriented languages for years, Juan entered the functional programming world working on personal projects in Common Lisp and Clojure. That’s when he knew he had found something great. While at Inaka he discovered Erlang and coding at work became a joy again. As a Klarna software engineer, he’s been building and improving highly available systems in Erlang, Java and (most recently) Clojure and enjoying the beautiful Swedish nature both in winter and summer.
