Incredible: I had not idea NuBank discovered Datomic first and that it's Datomic that led them to Clojure, 100 million+ customers, and eventually acquiring Cognitect.

Good to see David Nolen (aka "swanodette") is in the documentary too.

As a bonus here's a recent talk from David Nolen about Clojure/ClojureScript and using DOM morphing instead of React.

If you don't want to watch it all, just take two minutes to watch from 23m15s to 25m15s. He compares a behemoth slurping all the browser's CPU and RAM resources versus a 13 Kb of JavaScript + Web components and DOM morphing:

His talk is presented from Emacs, gotta love that too...

Emacs has always had a tight link with Lisp communities, due to its history, including ties to Lisp Machines, so naturally many use it.

However, as someone that rather use Lispworks, Allegro, Racket, there is also Cursive on top of InteliJ.

However note that XEmacs was my IDE replacement during my first UNIX decade, due to lack of proper alternatives, so I do know about what Emacs and its derivatives are capable of, no need for yes but replies.

I don't know if it's still the case, but at old clojure conferences, or meetups, or places of employment, emacs was a prereq and assumed (and the most enjoyable)
