Clojurians Log v2

I used Clerk with Playwright (the https://playwright.dev/java/) a few months ago, tried a few things. In the end, I was the most happy with a defonce’d connection, and an out-commented “close and reconnect” alter-var-root right below it.

(defonce conn (playwright ,,,))
#_(alter-var-root #'conn (fn [conn] (.close conn) (playwright ,,,)))

I used the alter-var-root untill I had the thing I wanted in conn, then mostly didn’t touch it after. Other (discarded) approaches felt more heavyweight than useful—especially those who required manual work before the Clerk document “worked”. Also tried a normal def, which caused problems—I had two running instances, when I just wanted one. (I realize that a Playwright instance isn’t the same as database connection, but I’d do the same thing with a PostgreSQL connection).
