People suggest matrix but matrix really doesnt replace mattermost for an org.

mattermost is oriented towards org needs. It has boards, playbooks, better levels of access control. Admin panels etc.

We really need a sane Slack alternative that is at least fully free for self hosting.

It’s just so powerful and versatile. I’ve been only using it for less than a year, but you can do most things with clojure, and do them good.

GUI, Web backend, frontend, logic programminc, scripting, CLI tools, and so on.

After you get the hang of it and REPL driven development, your productivity keeps getting more.

One thing that makes me really believe in it is how people that are good with it are so productive with it, I would say more that other languages. There are so many great projects built by a small team or solo devs in clojure.

I think for most people and normal users, its the most important part of a system.

I’m a software engineer and I’ve been using only i3wm and sway for the past 3 years. I don’t really need a DE. But when I do (very,very rarely) I always prefer Xfce, and after that, Plasma.

I would also suggest Clojure as his next language. not as popular as go or kotlin but its hinestly magical.

Umm, Clojure joined the chat.

Clojure in my opinion is the most beautiful and powerful language I have ever seen.

It has the full power of java ecosystem, amazing and simple concurrency, extremely simple syntax and semantics. You literally start ascending to other dimensions after a while of writing clojure. It’s like you are talking to your software.
