Panel with Tovieye Ozi and Markus Kloimwieder
summary
Panelists discuss a visual Clojure learning tool called clj-tiles that implements about 137 puzzles combining beginner Clojure exercises and advanced Lagrangian mechanics, built with ClojureScript, Reagent and Google’s Blockly plus the SICM Utils port by Sam Ritchie and Colin Smith, rendering math via the SICM stack and using the sci interpreter for live evaluation and friendly error messages; goals focus on more content and classroom adoption rather than gamification.
