Reading a https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7242027/ for completely non-Clojure reasons, when suddenly: > For this, we suggest usage of edn, a serialisation format with parsers available in most mainstream programming languages and then: > A short example written in Clojure is given in Listing 1.1 at which point I was so surprised I nearly missed this footnote at the end: > It would be sensible to define different standard formats for different formalisms. These can be automatically enforced in a CI pipeline, e.g., by Clojure Spec, before pull requests are accepted.

hi, i'm a total newbie here, wanna ask about does node.js and clojure could serve the same purpose?

@adrianimanuel It depends on your use case. NodeJS is a JS environment and JS hasn't got threads, which the JVM has. Also the ecosystems are different: available libraries, etc.

If you are familiar with NodeJS and you want to use "Clojure" then choosing ClojureScript is a natural choice (possibly with #shadow-cljs for better NPM interop?)

no i never use node.js

But if you're more familiar with the JVM, then Clojure on the JVM is a better fit and possibly NodeJS isn't so interesting for you then

does nodejs more to front end?

NodeJs is a server technology to run Js on backends.

Somehow people loved Js so much that they also wanted to use it on the server / desktop. It's a miracle.

guess i need to learn the fundamental first, difference between javascript and jvm

A general recommendation: if you don't do front-end, just go with Clojure JVM and start learning from there

ahh okay, thanks so much for the advice

I'm getting the following error when making a POST request to a local server with http://java.net.http, but no such error with clj-http:

connection close, x-websocket-reject-reason Client must provide a value for Sec-WebSocket-Key.
