@candera thanks, I tried it with boot too, but I think it uses the same template.

@thedavidmeister makes sense, I wanted to make sure I wasn't "making a huge mistake™"... I shall roll up my sleeves. Or maybe as a n00b, I should start with Hoplon and REST first (and add Castra later)?

@mudphone castra isn't required at all

i use sente and regular ajax calls, for example

if you're starting out and learning, there's nothing at all wrong with just using regular ajax while you learn hoplon/javelin

and add in castra later

the key thing though, is to always put the results of your requests into a cell

rather than juggling callbacks

you can then pass that cell around, reference it with cell= or whatever

@thedavidmeister ah, thanks for the tip. sounds like fun.

w00t, I seem to have a basic boot/hoplon/compojure setup going… for the record, pandeiro/boot-http seems to depend on boot-cljs-repl. If I don’t have that in my deps I get an error. If I included boot-cljs-repl (and piggieback, weasel, and tools.nrepl), I’m fine.

error being:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate clojure/tools/nrepl/server__init.class or clojure/tools/nrepl/server.clj on classpath.

@mudphone the issue you had with clojure.string/includes? looks like you need a newer version of clojure maybe?

Hey... Anybody know what happened to the haml task?
