Hi team, Has anyone here tried https://htmx.org? Its a great and simple way to do server side rendering. I've written a Clojure backend https://whamtet.github.io/ctmx/ that provides a react (or Clojure reagent) like UI style. It feels a lot like writing frontend Clojurescript except you are on backend JVM and have super fast load times - no JS! Ctmx provides a defcomponent macro which is almost the same as defn except it stores symbol references in the metadata. You expose an endpoint with make-routes which recursively exposes all subcomponents and ties in seamlessly with the overlying htmx. This novel approach also opens up other possibilities. For example we maintain a call stack of components which we can use to auto-name fields. The autogenerated names can then reconstruct complex forms as JSON which always updates to match the UI of the form. It just makes web development so simple. There is a simple template available with luminus lein new luminus my-project +ctmx. Update project.clj to ctmx 1.4.5 and then hit lein run. The above link shows some samples of how to work ctmx, I'd love feedback, suggestions for improvement etc.

Hi! I scratched an itch and released a https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6570 library: https://github.com/grzm/uri-template There are a couple others already out there. This one uses https://github.com/cognitect-labs/anomalies instead of throwing exceptions, and returns detailed parse information in the event of an error.
