rebranding: changing the name cljazz to cljam - 2023-07-20

The company began with the name cljazz, inspired by the musical style Jazz 🎷.

We are a company that aims to develop small open source products, provide them as a service (SaaS, i.e. MicroSaaS) and all the software we develop will use the Clojure programming language.

Clojure uses .clj for its file names, and in an attempt to combine the Jazz 🎷 musical style with Clojure, the old name cljazz was coined.

Looking at the purpose of the company, which by “default” needs to have a highly creative and collaborative environment and not escape from the “musical world”, we decided to look for a name that, when read, refers to this environment of creativity.

note: A Jam Session is a relatively informal musical event, process, or activity where musicians, typically instrumentalists, play improvised solos and vamp over tunes, drones, songs, and chord progressions. Original jam sessions, also called “free flow sessions”, are often used by musicians to develop new material (music) and find suitable arrangements, read more here.
