An opinionated list of excellent Clojure learning materials

These resources (articles, books, and videos) are useful when you're starting to learn the language, or when you're learning a specific part of the language. This an opinionated list, no doubt. I've compiled this list from writing and teaching Clojure over the last 10 years.

Zero-dependency Python script to decode the Bluesky Firehose

This is a pure Python implementation of code necessary to decode the Bluesky Firehose's low-level binary data format.

It does not depend on any third-party libraries for decoding; we implement DAG_CBOR and CARv1 decoding ourselves.

To run this, install Astral's UV.

Then:

Setup tor proxy on Arch Linux

Copied from this article.

Installation

Install `tor`

     $ sudo pacman -S tor
     $ ## nyx provides a terminal status monitor for bandwidth usage, connection details and more.

$ sudo pacman -S nyx
