As ClojureScript nears its fifth birthday I find myself reflecting on its suitability as a “tool for thought” . Certainly reading the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs nearly thirteen years ago painted an ideal image of Lisp as a truly interactive and tangible approach to computing.

I'm Writing Again For those of you who are still here — and given how long it's been, "still here" is a real act of patience — thank you. I haven't written a column since 2022. Just like everyone else, I've been busy all this time on Artificial Intelligence, founding with two partners a company
