yep, borkdude has been playing with calling Rust from Clojure too via Java JNA, so if most of your application doesn't need rust like performance but one specific part of it does then you're not dead for options

A lot of Clojure libraries will be described as Clojure(Script) libraries which means they run on both Java and JS usually with no interface changes here are some examples: https://github.com/tonsky/datascript https:&

If all you want is a rails thing but with a Clojure twist I'd keep an eye on https://youtu.be/jkx9F-RIFiY I agree there's a sometimes frustrating lack of branding and documentation for the one true way of doing th

TDD? Testing in Clojure has such a nice feedback loop in Cursive, clj-kondo is a nice sanity checker, and most editors have rename functionality Long term I can see a more intelligent feedback system powered by codeq helping with static ana

Yeah learning those first errors is a bit annoying learning what IFn is can be a bit cryptic but ClojureScript with shadow or figwheel gives really good errors

When you get heavy into types you start seeing the world through the lens of types and that's super dangerous for the same reasons that trying to view the entire world as SQL tables is not a maintainable solution, the problem isn'

Looking at spec through the lens of a type system is weird because types solve two problems where spec solves one problem So I'm getting the most leverage out of types when they solve: - Static analysis - Specification Clojure&#x27

Well that depends what you define the host problem to be End users can certainly run Clojure programs natively without having the JVM installed on their machine

Most editors should autocomplete those keys for you if you want somewhere that is a centralised location to find those names you could consider using spec https://clojure.org/about/spec Spec 2 should separate two conce

Yeah CLJS REPLs are a pain point currently (if you use Cursive specifically) Emacs and Atom and some others are much easier, that said a lot of people start with the hot code reloading since that experience is really nice and works out the

There is now an option to compile a binary, it uses GraalVM native-image technology We're growing a scripting ecosystem in Clojure now thanks to this, it's still relatively new As a newcomer, I've made several native binaries

Fulcro RAD is promising in this regard, going more declarative seems inevitable, there are challenges in designing declarative things though I think collectively we need more thought on how to design declarative systems that are tangible in

Datalog is implemented in many Clojure(Script) databases if you'd like to try it out, Datahike is my favourite for dev/learning use but Crux, Datomic, Datascript and others exist

ClojureScript is a superset of JavaScript, something as simple as writing a loop would very quickly illustrate there is a huge gap between the languages

I think PHP suffers from the java migration, we now write code like this https://github.com/aran112000/Advent-of-Code-2019-PHP/blob/m... when functions in a namespace would have sufficed It seems like collect

Most Clojure teams I speak to spec their input using Clojure spec, then they get custom recursive error reporting, validation, coercion and generators Clojure specifications can also be converted into other forms of specification like graph

I've seen Haskellers "learn" Clojure, often nested ifs everywhere and an imperative mess, just expecting the language to make their poor thinking into a great program Clojure wants to be data oriented, I recommend watching a

by slifin 7y ago
Yep and even then Clojure has Erlang and .net runtimes and interop built syntactically into the language, GraalVM has to reimplement those languages in it's tooling so they'll always be playing catch-up with the real implementatio

Clojure is a lisp that runs on top of Java, JavaScript and a couple of others and has access to all of those libraries via npm and maven Having more libraries than most languages doesn't nullify the use of macros, macros are usually di

by slifin 7y ago
Clojure is good for this because it's a parasitic language it sits on top of and interops with JavaScript, Java, .NET, Erlang and their ecosystems, npm, maven etc Learn the main language once and you get incredible reach, for every new

Version number is too blunt an instrument Ideally I want enough introspection in my tooling to automatically pick up breaking changes by doing static analysis between versions and where breaking changes are impossible to detect I want human

I'm definitely coming around to graph first systems like Fulcro and Datomic, with Datahike being a great Datomic introduction

Be-careful when learning "FP" that you're not just learning your chosen language's idea of FP It can often be a large investment to learn these concepts only to find it's only scala or Haskell or w/e does FP &q
