I’m hip deep in updating the Pedestal guides (the hello-world tutorials). I’m updating them for Http-Kit and connector. I’m also increasingly uncomfortable with the very Clojure-newbie stuff. I may ramp some of it down … I’m not sure it’s helpful for the intended audience, which I’d wager usually includes some basic Clojure knowledge. Maybe that was different in 2016 when some of this was first written.

The diffs read well. Er - Must #object[...] be described as "crazy"?

I’ve changed that to “unwieldy”.

I think that it is OK to have some clojure-newbie content in pedestal guides "Create an http server" is one of the first things people learn

There’s a balance, too much Clojure newbie distracts from the Pedestal newbie. See what you think when I post the PR.

other options: "raw java objects" "raw native objects"
