hi everyone!

@jellea: This might be interesting: https://loop.ableton.com

Anybody here using/making music with overtone?

@defsprite: already signed up

of course you have!

Love the Website of this ableton thing!

cool

i have a question, i want to write a simple RESTful API that just deals in one resource (GET with filtering and POST)

i once played around with liberator, but i don’t want to go down that route again

I'd just use pure ring I guess

with compojure?

yes!

unless you have a lot of routes, the cognitive overhead of learning liberator (etc.) should be more than you gain from it, compared to simple ring+compojure+clojure/data.json

but I haven't used liberator et al, so maybe I'm wrong

i don’t like that liberator relies so heavily on macros

I agree

and the whole decision tree thing is scary

bidi is like compojure, except without macros (or so I heard)

maybe an option as well: routes are just data structures

thx

in bidi, I mean

i’ll look into it

let us know if it works out

bidi is a good choice - I also don't like liberator much but I use it because you need something like this for proper error handling

i see

@nicsnet: what I currently use for REST APIs looks like this: https://github.com/alexanderkiel/hap-todo/blob/master/src/hap_todo/handler.clj

But that might be a bit over top for your use case.
