there are a lot of compromises that need to be made there to make it really work

gotcha. just out of curiosity, do you mean compromises on my side? or compromises in making it stable in the hoplon core?

mostly compromises in the way you express clojurescript source code in the .html.hl file

because clojure syntax isn't really s-expressions

like (defn foop [x y] #(-> f g h [x y]))

all the non-sexp syntax that is allowed in the clojure reader

so when you want to interleave code and markup it can be confusing

also like (foo :bar/baz baf)

you can't do <foo bar/baz=baf></foo>

ahh i see

that makes sense

so you would do <foo bar.baz="{{baf}}"></foo>

but you can see it starts to get more complicated

yea, for sure. ok, ill start working with the cljs syntax. thanks!

have fun!

@flyboarder could you tell me a bit more about hoplon/brew?

@thedavidmeister yes! Hoplon brew is where we put user contrib things that aren't for hoplon core

But are useful for everyone

This way we get to test things before working them into core

Hi, I don’t know if this is a hoplon specific problem, but I thought I would try here first. I’ve just created a blank lein new hoplon-castra project and ran boot dev in it, which results in the following exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No such var: string/includes?
clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: No such var: string/includes?
    file: "cljs/util.cljc"
    line: 156

Has anyone seen this before?

I suppose my real question is, “is the lein new hoplon-castra the idiomatic way to start a new hoplon castra project?"

I don’t know the answer, and haven’t used castra at all yet (other than at work a tiny bit on an existing project) but I tend to use boot new to start projects.

@mudphone once you've done things a few times you can just copy and paste the relevant stuff by hand 🙂

but yeah, maybe the dependencies are out of whack in the boot file
