Morning

Yesterday i finally got round to trying shadow-cljs. i've always wanted to stick to the regular compiler since all i wanted was core & safe but i've hit two pain points with that approach associated with node modules and webpack. Anyway, it was simpler and less intrusive than I expected. Nice error messages too.

It's just hard to turn your back on figwheel 😂

It's extremely easy to use npm with shadow-cljs

It was honestly the reason I switched in the first place

How is figwheel diff from shadow? (Ive only used shadow)

FWIW these are my notes which seem to cover the basics... https://gist.github.com/olivergeorge/8a04740bd3402a19849c367d817dde49
