This was not necessarily a fun process, but it was insightful. The flavor of the week was Clojure, a LISP dialect which is fairly popular these days. I ended up using NextJournal as my plotting environment since it was the easiest way to code in Clojure these days. I ended up fighting with the language a good amount, and having to rely on Java’s error messages was…trying. I did feel inspired by all the parenthesis in Clojure–enough to make a bubbly drawing. I do think that this project represents hitting the barrier of trying new tools where fighting to just print results without errors.
