Today we're talking with Mike Fikes. He is a software developer who specializes in Clojure Script, but has been building custom hardware to run it on.

• Clojure Script is built on Clojure, which is built on Lisp, which is built on Java (whew!)
• Mike has been taking Ben Eater's class and following along building custom hardware to learn more about how computers work. Ben has been a guest on Chris' other podcast, The Amp Hour.
• Mike has also been working with Bil Herd, who designed the Commodore 128. Bil has also been a guest on The Amp Hour.
• Vouch.io
• The boards Mike designed work with Espirit, a fork of Espruino.
• You can buy the boards on Tindie, if you'd like to try them out.
• Mike gave a talk about this subject at Clojure North a couple of months ago.
