Watched & loved Simple Made Easy. “I’m learning Clojure”
This was 5 years ago
Demo
— Why? — Too much Angular. Front-end never felt right.
Gulp, webpack, whaaa?
Enter ClojureScript Re-frame Re-frisk Figwheel
— Re-frame — Amazing wiki Starter apps Simple toolbelt Easy-ish
to start for noobs like me
— Re-frame — A lot of JS intro with Leaflet.js
Translating to JS is annoying to begin with, but Figwheel kicks in. DB as a global state + no args events for super-quick prototyping.
— Re-com + re-frisk — Crazy fast for building interfaces.
No more CSS hate. Hard to style nicely. Global state + re-frist = happiness.
Starter App TodoMVC
Lessons learned
If you’re starting, Clojure + Emacs = Fail
Start with tech you already know Python + Flask
lein vs boot
lein vs boot
tooo vs calendar
todo vs calendar Plan (getplan.co) vs Todoist

Consistency >> Inspiration
1 hour daily “one small improvement” rewarding 3 hours every
Saturday huge leap daunting, feeling behind Consistency >> Inspiration
Decent resources Lambda Island, helps with JS intro CLJSJS for
importing JS libraries re-frame-template for general awesomeness Clojure for Brave and True — great learning book Parens of the Dead — funky way of learning CLJS Speaking.io — Because “imagine everyone's naked” is terrible advice.
