People jumped the Angular / Ember ship for React because those frameworks were too complex. Then they realized they needed additional features. Now there's a push to unify these features into a framework... You have to put your co

I highly recommend devs (especially JS devs) try out a Clojure/script project. The tooling has improved immensely, and Cursive is one hell of an IDE. JS devs will really appreciate how clearly you can express these seemingly new fronte

Interesting article and approach, but I don't think this is really an argument against using something like Angular or React (which alone isn't even a true "MVC"). It's more of "for my particular use case, this

100% agree.. and just as important as ease of starting: ease of finishing. make all of your tests / linters / etc. runnable via a simple npm run. there's overhead in setting this up, but i can remember several times where i h

I don't think the author's goal is to recreate Haskell in Javascript. There's appeal for JS devs like myself to learn / use Haskell paradigms like those you've mentioned in their codebases without having to learn a

In your current state, clustering is probably not be the best advice for your use case. That being said, if you are planning on scaling, you'll likely be moving your map object into it's own process, or a more traditional database

Ironically, right after the author mentions "The leading edge of developers are simplifying their builds" w/ vanilla JS, he suggests using Babel to get bleeding edge JS features...

Have you looked into Mozilla's SweetJS? I haven't had enough Clojure experience to get into something where macros would prove useful, so I'm wondering if utilizing macros in Javascript (which I'm much more comfortable i
