Re: Starting a project the right way - tips?

Just in case you hadn’t already come across it in your Google-ing, I thought you should know about http://clojure-doc.org . This site is more than just API documentation, it also contains a number of useful guides covering various topics in Clojure. It’s not exactly a collection of

I think you’ve missed Immutant: http://immutant.org . I’ve used it on multiple projects for serving HTTP requests, coordinating background jobs, caching, and inter-app communication. It’s also fairly easy to get set up with a clustered configuration. On Friday, September 19, 2014 at 15:52,

Re: Is Clojure a language for growth?

My advice on convincing your boss to use Clojure for a new project: don’t. Projects succeed or fail for any number of different reasons, but I can guarantee you that if you *start* a new project with Clojure, and it does happen to fail, then the choice of Clojure will bear the brunt of the

Re: Clojure cons vs. conj

I think you’ve actually answered your own question without realizing it. At least, the way I was taught is that “conj” is always constant time w.r.t. the collection being appended to. Since different collections have different internal storage mechanisms, that means that “conj” will do

I just wanted to point out that if you’re looking to write small background processes that are more shell-script-y than server-y, you might consider CLJS + Node.js. That way you can still leverage Clojure without the need to spin up an entire JVM just for a quick cron task. Cheers, Josh
