*This isn't meant to start a flame-war!* I am pretty convinced that I want to use Clojure as my primary tool (in place of Java/Groovy Spring and Hibernate) in writing Enterprise applications on the JVM. By Enterprise I mean that my solution has to be very stable, maintainable by others, subject to a number of stake- holders and so on.
Part of the attraction of Java is the set of well-established tools for certain things: - maven/gradle/ant for building - Spring for glue and a gazillion other things (disclaimer: I used to work for them as a Consultant) - Hibernate for ORM - JUnit/TestNG - and so on I am convinced that Clojure offers a different playing field in terms of building blocks; due to its power it seems that there isn't the need for such heavyweight players, rather rolling your own, or using light-weigh libraries seems to possible. That is excellent news, but I need to start somewhere. So, what do other enterprise developers use? There are a gazillion libraries out there but where do you start? For example (religious war starts now): - cake seems to be a superset of lein but lein seems to be the preferred choice - which should a newbie go with - what behaviour driven testing (i.e. BDD) library would you use (for integration tests) - which unit testing framework do you use (lazy-test's watch method is very appealing) - which CI servers have you integrated Clojure with, and how? - which other high quality libraries can you recommend (akin to JodaTime) Basically, what supporting infrastructure do you guys use to build large Clojure apps. I hope the gist of this request comes through - I, of course, should try them all, but if recommendations are always welcome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
