probably it’s already posted on other channels but I’m not following them that much

I thought that meant more consulting

but does it mean they've been acquired?

oh right shoulda read the article

Yup, looks like they've been acquired

whaaaaat

I suppose when you're as invested in Clojure as Nubank is, it makes sense to buy the people/company responsible for the stewardship of the language

especially when US foreign policy is so erratic

make sure you have all your underlying infra IP lodged in your own jurisdiction

clj is still open source I guess

but not datomic

but I guess they've always aggressively discouraged the community from getting too involved

that potentially means that Rich has more time to spend on Clojure, not distracted with having to make a business out of it

thats a feature though isnt it

Eclipse Public License

helps you to focus on the most important things

where important === things customers are prepared to pay for

the paid product of Cognitect was Datomic, not Clojure

plus whatever consultancy custies are asking for

that might have been a factor in acquisition as well

I’m guessing Rich still has the copyrights to all of clojure too. That stuff didn’t appear to be on the table with cognitect.

Yeah. To reiterate. Nubank have bought datomic. Not clojure.
