🎧 New episode of “Clojure in product. Would you do it again?” is out — this one’s about running Clojure inside a big global firm.
We sat down with Marcin Maicki (Global Data Developer &amp; Lead Developer at Dentons) to hear what it’s like keeping a Clojure system running in a C#/TypeScript world. We talked about real, everyday stuff like:
🔥 What being a “Clojure island” actually means for integrations and tooling
🔥 How security audits and dependency scans steer engineering choices
🔥 Keeping a 9‑year‑old codebase simple, sharing knowledge, and bringing new Clojure folks up to speed
🔥 When Clojure makes sense — and when it’s more complicated than that
