Hi FoC Community 🙂 I'm looking for something that i found a couple of years ago and apparently my fuzzy descriptions fail my zettelkasten or a search engine for that matter. I think I'm looking for a clojure talk in which someone presented also a tool. This tool used a UI of 2 or Three circles as a kind of number REPL which explained for example how the map function works in clojure. I hope that isn'T too vague if you know the name of the tool, that would be very cool. Thank you!!

are you looking for Maria clojure environment?

welcome, alias for my search (in my brain) is “visual clojure == Vlojure” also it was on reddit in a /nosyntax sub-reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/nosyntax/comments/pxwkjx/vlojure_a_new_way_to_write_clojurescript/
also I was impressed/jealous that this tool was way more cooler than mine 🙂
@Ella Hoeppner - the author of this tool is here btw

glad to hear people are still interested in vlojure after so long! 😄
fwiw I've been working lately on a replacement for vlojure, here's a sneak peak. This time it's built with rust and wgpu, so it'll be much more cross-platform. Here it's running as a native app on my mac, but will also be able to deploy for the web, and mobile shouldn't be too difficult either. Plus the UI is shaping up to be a lot smoother than the original vlojure, and performance doesn't drop once your program gets large (which was a big issue with the original vlojure). And this time I'm making it much more language-agnostic, such that it can be used with many different languages, rather than just clojure/script.

I was talking to a friend who is going to be a computer science teacher, we talked about the Mindstorms book and the topic of LOGO/Lisp and clojure came up. After the talk I send him some notes from my Zettelkasten. I knew I remembered vlojure but couldn’t remember the name. And so I came here :) and we even might get and improved version 👍 😃
