Clojurians Log v2

The restriction is having no external npm dependencies. I am restating it in case it wasn't clear enough. The motivation is about the work I do. Sometimes we need internal tools that are immune to npm package updates for long periods of time in which case we rely on the barebones and keep things very simple. By DOM manipulation I just mean calling getElementById, setting innerHTML and such. Thank you for the welcome 👋

A way to make you immune to npm package updates, while leveraging more of the Clojure power is to go for #replicant. It is pure Clojure/ClojureScript and has zero npm dependencies. In fact it has zero dependencies. There is generally much less need to worry about dependency updates with ClojureScript than with JavaScript. For two reasons: • There is a tradition in Clojure to not break your callers when updating a library. This stems from the way Clojure is developed. You can pick up a Clojure project from ten years ago. Bump all Clojure dependencies, and also Clojure to the newest version and mostly expect everything to work without changes in your project. • The way Clojure dependency management works, you choose when something should be updated in your project. If you, despite this, think you need to stay completely in old-school set innerHTML land, it is as easy to do this with ClojureScript as with JavaScript. The interop is stellar. For an example, have a look at the full-stack #shadow-cljs mini-app that #calva can create and start for you. You reach it from the REPL button in the VS Code status bar. (Takes less than a minute to install VS Code and Calva.)

Thank you very much. I think I got my keywords for a starting 👍

Welcome! 👋🏻

What's the motivation for having such a restriction? And to clarify, do you mean doing your own DOM manipulation via ClojureScript?
