Episode 37 - Zombies, Emacs and Getting Clojure with Magnar Sveen

Halloween Special - we talk to the mad scientist creator of some functional zombies

Published: 2021-10-26

On the show today, as part of our Norwegian Techie series, we have another great Norwegian techie Magnar Sveen. You might know Magnar as the "emacs rocks guy" - and you can find his content at emacsrocks.com where he has been hosting webcasts on tips and tricks of emacs since 2011. But that's not all, he's a big fan of functional programming in particular Clojure and Clojure script and on his other site Parens of the Dead, you'll find screencasts that will teach you how to build a zombie game with functional programming. So we'll get into all of that, expect plenty of talk about text editors and functional programming.
