Bruce Hauman - Developing ClojureScript With Figwheel

What Hacker News said

Strong rec JamesLeonis · 2017-08 · on “Ask HN: Lispers: Which dialect of Lisp do you use and why?”

If you're interested in Clojure, I _highly_ recommend /r/Clojure on Reddit. It's very active; several library devs, book authors, and core maintainers frequently post and comment. There's a weekly thread dedicated to new Clojure users ([Latest thread here][1]). The Clojure Slack[6] is even more active if you have a burning question. If you would like to dip your toes in the water, 4Clojure[2] is an online interactive Clojure Kata. There's also a (nearly) full REPL environment at Try Clojure[3] or repl.it[4]. The Clojure Cheatsheet[5] makes it easy to browse and discover the Clojure standard library, and IMHO is _so_ well organized! But the biggest part of Lisp is the interactive development.

I'm not sure if the parent did, but I followed what you were looking for and the answer is still "try clojure", perhaps more specifically it is "Try the Clojure libraries figwheel and devcards to do web stuff" but the push for immediate feedback and "interactive programming" is central for everyone. It's a community that took Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle talk to heart, already agreeing due to the REPL centric workflows that most people used. Bruce Hauman has some good talks about his tools, which are GUI application-centric and a joy to use [1][2][3] If you aren't doing web or native mobile GUI stuff then the default tools have immediate unit test/linting/spec compliance feedback tri

Sure. I use fighwheel. [LINK] Actually, when I develop with clojure, I typically have both backend and frontend running at the same time and I am concurrently modifying both applications without restarting them. This is way, way more convenient than having to restart application and then to bring it to a state to run your test. This is youtube video from which I learned about fighwheel: [this video] Have fun!

here is my experience: - creating a project from scratch is easy: lein new reagent-frontend my-project. it creates a project from reagent-frontend template. you can build your app with lein cljsbuild auto or build a production build with lein release. - build time significantly drops, even with advanced optimizations, comparing to webpack. - both component and app state management becomes a lot easier thanks to reagent atoms. - not much of a big deal but hiccup templates make inline styling easier. - you get figwheel!

This is Bruce Hauman's dome (creator of the Clojure library Figwheel) I watched a video of the talk where this dome is mentioned last week. [this video] I was hoping there'd be some more info about the way he lives in general. Seeing from the outside picture he also seems to grow his own food.
