@leif.eric.fredheim In the #announcements thread about Lighthouse, you mentioned how we’ve complained about Kubernetes YAML on the podcast before. That made me think of a general principle. I think lighthouse is a great example of keeping information in a useful format for computation and then “rendering” out the representation you need at the very end.

Hiccup is a nice way to express information that can be transformed 1:1 to markup. I haven't gone down the road of writing code that manipulates hiccup, but I certainly enjoy using it.

Maybe https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup and https://github.com/noprompt/garden are better examples than AsciiDoc and Markdown, if we want to stay within the realm of Clojure.

What works well for computation is likely different than what works well for integration.

@nate and I like to call it the “internal” representation vs the “output” representation.

Yeah! I think that’s a good principle in general, even outside of programming. For example, AsciiDoc and Markdown serve a similar purpose for having a single human readable source and “compiling” to several domain-specific target formats, like PDF, HTML, EPUB, Word, etc.
