Hello all French guy from Normandy Got to clojure through STM & “simple made easy” around 10 years ago. Written several decent size integration tools for work back then. Since never found a better language for me (used quite a few), also spent (and still) a lot a time in corporate software architecture & management Now getting back to clojure on personal time just because I love it 😍

Hi fellow clojurians. My name is Bill and I am from beautiful central New Jersey, USA. I’m just beginning my clojure journey, slowly learning Clojurescript with the hope of luring my work colleagues away from our Microsoft-centric tech stack. Wish me luck.

Which exit? 🙂 I am GSP 98, we may have the basis for a meet-up!

A NJ meetup would be great! I’m nowhere near the parkway or turnpike…other side of the state near the PA border.

Can't resist: we are not in Kansas any more! 🙂 Other side of the state is an hour away. Anyway, ping me if you get stuck on anything. Or maybe I can do a talk for your crew on Flutter/MX, with ClojureDart Inside(tm). It is a good example of how a dynamic language can expand the possibilities of strong static, with macrology in a starring role. What is your front-end stack now?

If we’re doing a SPA it’s been Vue/Nuxt. We’re thinking about React/NextJS, but I spent the weekend looking at htmx and reading about hiccup and that sounds more intriguing to me and might fit better with our team. Still need to figure out how you’d handle state with that approach… ClojureDart would only really be for mobile apps right?

Quick aside: I have run some CLJD examples in the browser, including my full treatment of the TodoMVC classic, but I am not sure if CLJD is ready for prime-time outside mobile. We should check with the CLJD crew on that. htmx does seem to be getting traction. And you might check out my Matrix work. I have used it with straight HTML/CSS, ReactJS, and I even have a pure JS/ES5 solution that drives HTML/CSS. My write-up of the latter may be one of the more coherent 🙂 I have done. https://tilton.medium.com/simplejx-aweb-un-framework-e9b59c12dcff There is a pretty fair CLJS Matrix write-up as well, which I will go find.

Here is the other decent write-up, this time about a CLJS TodoMVC: https://github.com/kennytilton/mxtodomvc/blob/main/README.md
