Clojurians Log v2

about to kick off a clojurescript project for a prototype UI for a project at work!

found https://github.com/bhauman/figwheel-template

Now thinking about om vs reagent. Have no idea about rum

I recommend against om

om isn’t supported and om.next may be genius but I just can’t figure it out

@dar is (or will soon be) using rum for something

reagent might be the safest choice

thanks, Norman

Yeah reagent !!

when it comes to frontend frameworks, clojurescript community creates at least 5 wrappers for every js framework that comes out

so you definitely have options

yet .. then we tried to make another web framework (arachne) people have to have fits on “why need another framework? we have luminus”

Nobody remembers Caribou, I think it was supposed to be like Rails with the way it had the database stuff kinda done for you and an admin interface to let your users add new things themself

I abused that model to let my users manage product data for their site. They never paid me so I burned it all to the ground anyway, but it was interesting

Speaking of Arachne, today was supposed to be the alpha release date

@clojuregeek aren't you on the steering group?

Yes, and she’s giving us a talk on it next month.

oh cool

I don’t really care for luminus. I’m curious what arachne will bring to the table. The only thing that has troubled me is that I heard somewhere that it might be resurrecting some pedestel things. That’s not a direction I want to go, but I’m certainly willing to take a look when there’s something to see.

I didn't get too familiar with pedestal so I'm not sure what interceptors are but it sounds like request/response wrapping to me

that's the only time I heard Luke mention pedestal in the kickstarter presentation
