ClojureScript: Fun and productive web development with next level tooling - Christian Johansen

[@mirmarq429]

Absolutely beautiful. Lisp lives!

[@TankorSmash]

Very cool talk, it walked through a bunch of different stuff. I might have to try CLJS again! I had a lot of trouble with the errors it'd spit out, and the whole figwheel thing seemed fragile, but it looks great when its working well.

[@riebeck1986]

Thank you for the talk !!

[@jordanhowlett9172]

How active is clojurescript development? Have you worked much with Rust? I know Rust and Web Assembly is a big rave right now. Curious on your thoughts on them! Loved the video. Always been obsessed with Lisps.

[@mertnuhoglu]

Very useful information. Is it possible if you can also share the code that you presented here?

[@qu4ku]

smooth operator!

[@smtkumar007]

why is the syntax so different than normal tradational programming and what benefits does this provides compared to other programming language?

[@laughingvampire7555]

dude, you can't get more traditional than Lisp, everything comes back to Lisp. The benefit that provides is SIMPLICITY, and syntactic abstraction, macros. This lisp in particular has huge support for concurrency with software transactional memory, immutability, goroutines, as well as all the power of the concurrent primitives of each platform it targets.

clojurescript needs cool editors like vs code and more friendly tutorials and libraries. it looks like it is from the dark ages. it needs better marketing basically and a bit more flash. it looks as boring as java and eclipse and all that shit.

Try the calva extension for vscode - works great

[@laughingvampire7555]

well dude, if you think vs code is cool then you are as boring as java and eclipse, because vscode is the same shit as eclipse. you can use clojure with any editor, all the main editors and ide support it. But the community has a lot of people who prefer Emacs because its customizability is unmatched.

​@@laughingvampire7555you know what was cool? light table editor. wish that continued.
