@chadhs: @shaun-mahood crazy? might be the only way to stay sane! Want to look at a sophisticated wrapper around react? Take this and some time to read: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame To get started with it, there is a leiningen template: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template, Connecting to your existing backend services I'd go with cljs-ajax: https://github.com/JulianBirch/cljs-ajax. Of course we also have a websocket library if you need that. re-frame is a completely new concept, however, I think it makes sense. If you don't like that, we also have OM, reagent and quiescent as a wrapper around react. If you don't like react, there is also a lib that wraps virtualdom, just cannot recall the name right now. Or, the most boring option, you start with plain cljs. I would still go with live reloading though in that case: https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel. Just remember, for most things there is a leiningen template available to get you started, No need to put something together manually

I have a question regarding namespaces

kamillelonek08:06:18

I have two of them:

(ns main.developers)
and
(ns main.developers.single-developer)

kamillelonek08:06:12

is there any way to use single-developer inside main.developers without specyfing the full path (:require [main.developers.single-developer :as single-developer])?

sveri08:06:02

There surely is a way, you could load the file for instance. But your example is idiomatic, what do you really want to achieve? what is your goal with that question?

kamillelonek08:06:06

can I skip main.developers. from main.developers.single-developer if I'm already in main.developers namespace?

kamillelonek08:06:20

I need to require "child" namespace so I wonder if I always have to provide a full path to require it or can I only provide this "child" specific part

sveri08:06:22

Ah, no, you cannot do that, a namespace has no notion of child's. The compiler neither. This is a concept in your head, but not in clojure regarding namespaces.

kamillelonek08:06:01

I see, that's what I thought because I've never met something like that

sveri08:06:10

On the other hand, it might be possible to make a macro that can just do that.

sveri08:06:21

And prepend a namespace to a given one, by just guessing and some strict rules. However to much magic going on then, at least for my taste

Hi! My question might be off topic, but as a beginner Clojure learner I'm curious about how does Clojure and Functional Programming itself stand on the job market? Are companies really beginning to lean towards FP? The biggest thing I like about it is the immutability.

akiva19:06:30

They really are.

It’s more prevalent in Europe—you’ll see a lot of job posts for London, Berlin, and so forth—but it’s catching fire in the US, too.

Last handful of interviews I went to have all been Clojure.
