== Clojure Community Check-In
33+
34+
The world is going through changes: in programming, technology, work, and in
35+
specific countries and regions, each with its own form of trouble, hope, or
36+
confusion.
37+
38+
People in Clojure communities, like elsewhere, are finding their way through
39+
it, sometimes with questions and sometimes with a sense of being alone in it.
40+
41+
The Clojure Community Check-In is a space to share how we’re doing.
42+
43+
Watch a https://youtu.be/dkxwZ9VGLCo[short video] from the organizers.
