Now it’s something very different.Īll this means that I don’t really enjoy using Slack much. I still remember it when it was hip, simple and cool. Slack has been betting progressing more enterprise and less hackerish every year.In our company we had even forbidden them for a while, as so many people hated how they were implemented. And Slack’s threads are notoriously easy to miss. Won’t bother to use them (unless constantly prodded by someone). I could have created more channels like cider-support, cider-beginners, etc, but experience with Slack has taught me that most people probably There’s not enough granularity in the conversations as they happen in just a couple of channels and support requests, feature requests, etc quickly get.I know the logs are stored somewhere else, but I don’t really want to have to dig for them. Often by the time I see something, all the context for it has disappeared. The logs disappear fairly quickly on the free plans that the Clojurians Slack is using.It’s really painful for me to use Slack because of several things: So, it seems that Slack is the solution for support/discussions/etc, right? It’s big, it’s active, so it must be great, right? Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s exactly the case. Seems that Slack was a big success for Clojure in general, and for CIDERĪ lot of support also happens in GitHub issues, but I consider this accidental rather than intended and now I can easily convertĪll issues that should have been discussions into discussions. CIDER’s channel alone has over 1700 users, which probably makes it one of most popular channels on Clojurians. Slack (Clojurians) - the #cider, #emacs and #nrepl channels there are quite active.StackOverflow - never gained much traction either, although it’s certainly more used for CIDER than any of the above options.GitHub Discussions - it’s still new, but there’s not much traction there. Gitter was somewhat popular a few years ago, but that’s no longer the case.
