Clojurians Log v2

Absolutely no worries!

Can I has a blurb to use on the Meetup page for the meeting?

yes, I'll get you something as soon as possible. Latest tomorrow

I’m super interested in Datastar and have it on my urgent list of things to dig in to. “How to us it with Clojure and some of the architectural choices” sounds like exactly what I need!

I figured it's kind of a hot topic, or at least a smoldering topic that increasingly people are discovering

That’s enough for a blurb, btw…

Datastar lets you create rich frontend applications in a declarative way. No npm, no react, just a single <script> tag and a bunch of standard HTML data-... attributes. That's already great, but how does that impact your backend? There's a specific architecture that's been gaining attention, based on Server Sent Events (SSE, think websockets-lite), morphing (kind of like vdom diffing, but without the vdom), and smart use of connection-level compression. Together you get frontends that are always up to date, and multiplayer out of the box, all while keeping your state where it belongs: in the database.

Yay, data point of one and all that, but this is perfect! 😄

I'm so bummed that I will miss this! We are at the tail end of migrating to Datastar at work so am very curious about your experience report @plexus. Anyhow, I'll see you all at the conference tomorrow!
