Looks like a nice tool. I wrote https://github.com/epantry/django-sql-explorer https://github.com/epantry/django-sql-explorer, which is sort-of similar in terms of the problem it solves, except embraces SQL front-and-center. Excited to check this out in more depth.
Personally, I think it's really exciting is that this is all written in Clojure! We need more Clojure web apps out there to learn from! An initial glance at the source makes it seem very readable as well. A great learning resources for us amateur Clojurists. Also makes it clear that the ecosystem is pretty immature; there is a lot of frameworky boilerplate to support a straightforward REST API.
- salsakran 11y agoYes, writing the app in Clojure has been very interesting. Some things were downright magical, while other aspects felt very rough coming from other languages and frameworks. Ironically the prototype was in django =) There will be a blog post about it coming up!
- numlocked 11y agoYeah -- it seems crazy that you have to reinvent things like your defendpoint macro. I know Clojure is all about composable libraries, not frameworks, etc, etc but just as compojure has become the de facto standard for routing, I imagine more libs will emerge higher up the web stack. It'll mean opinionated libraries, but that is the only way to get more people writing apps that deliver value instead of spending time creating macros that ensure (for instance...) the presence of int IDs in API requests.
