Perhaps you really want something like a JavaScript typed array. I've never messed around with those to try to deal directly with primitives that are held contiguously in memory.

I think Float32Array is what I want, but I'm not sure.

Is this a good place to ask a beginner clojurescript related question? Or some other channel/irc?

@duminda there is #beginners if you'd like

is this new? http://cljs.github.io/api/ It looks really cool 🙂

{:since 2015} https://github.com/cljs/api/graphs/contributors

simply wow !

@radomski If you get no response here, there is an Om-specific channel, #om

I obviously didn't scroll down enough, I'll just remove the comment here since it doesn't seem to belong

what's the most stable/mature way to use javascript libs?

@lockdown- as in adding the dependency to your project, or calling the code?

@noisesmith both I guess, what's the difference?

to use javascript code, use host interop, it's quite simple. To add js libs as deps to your project, there's a few approaches, including cljsjs and npm. I assume using npm deps directly from cljs will be the most robust solution in the future but the impression I get right now is that it is fairly new

to be honest, in my own production app we just grabbed versions of the js libs we wanted and put them in our repo

(but this dates toa few years ago and there are much better options when making a new project now)

@noisesmith ok, so an extern file with the JS lib is the most mature way?

yeah - I'd welcome input from someone who has tried using the new npm integration though

ok, does the JS has lib has to be in its final form without module code right? this is for the browser

there's js module support, supposedly in alpha (but with clojure that can sometimes mean something is perfectly usable and just new) https://clojurescript.org/guides/javascript-modules

that document also describes using npm to manage your deps with cljs

yeah, I was skimming through those and saw various methods, was wondering which is the most mature one

everything in that page is alpha, none of it is mature

cljs itself isn't especially mature, - it's been working for a while but a lot of things change regularly and it isn't on clojure's level

that could just reflect a difference between the java and javascript ecosystems too

ok, I'll give a more harder look at the docs, thanks.

Hi! Newbie question here. I would like to write a library n clojurescript exposing an API that I will then use from a javascript project. How can I do this, and which build tool should I use (lein or boot)? I have a preferenc for boot
