It would be nice if a few of us write what is their interest in DOP.

I’ll start 😊

I have been a software developer since 2001. After 10 years of suffering with C++, Java, JavaScript and Ruby, I discovered Clojure in 2012. Since then, I’ve been having a lot of fun in coding both for software companies and on open source projects of mine. Over the last couple of years, I have asked myself: what makes it so fun and productive for me in Clojure? At first, I thought it was the power of expression that Functional programming provides and the short feedback loop of the Clojure REPL. But I was wrong. In fact, what makes Clojure stand out is the fact that it puts data at the centre. By embracing Data-Oriented programming, Clojure reduces the complexity of the system.

Why did it take you so long to discover:thinking_face: Clojure @david043?

😆 Not sure! I hadn't heard of Clojure until january 2020 and thought "ah, it's a Java-something language ..."

I think you should share your short bio on the channel (not only in the thread)

I was so excited by this discovery that I decide to write a book on DOP

I just had an interesting conversation with *Richard Fabian (*who wrote a book on DOD) on Twitter about DOD vs. DOP https://twitter.com/raspofabs/status/1363636126712532992
