DuckDB is now available as a Clojure library, bringing its high-performance, in-process analytical database capabilities to Clojure developers for local data analysis on laptops.

Thi.ng is a 350-module open-source toolkit for computational design and generative art, built bottom-up with small, composable pieces.
