Appreciate the pointer towards Lumo and Planck -- I've tried Lumo though not Planck. I have used Clojurescript at work (not for scripting but for webapps) and it's been more challenging for me only because I am not as familiar with the Javascript ecosystem as I am the Java ecosystem. What

Appreciate the response -- grench looks like a great way for me to continue to use my always-on repl in actual scripts and not just interactively. I've lately ironically become more interested in Clojure startup time now than when I started developing with it because I'm starting to accumulate

If you're looking for fast CLI utilities, ocaml can be a good fit, or grenchman for loading clojure code, in this particular case (written in ocaml): https://github.com/technomancy/grenchman You don't really need persistent data structures for those use-cases, do you? But it does have seqs and

I'd recommend you try some of the startup optimizations for the JVM that zprint does: https://github.com/kkinnear/zprint/blob/master/doc/filter.md#we-all-know-that-clojure-startup-is-so-slow-that-this-will-not-work With it, they've managed to get the Clojure zprint filter to start faster then

Hi Jeremy, These look great! This might be the wrong forum for it (or maybe it's the best forum for it), but I'd be curious to get your take on why one might choose Cycle over React with something like Reagent+Re-frame to do event-driven dataflow programming in the browser. Surely Cycle is a

If you haven't given it a try yet, Clojurescript is really the goto for a lot of Clojure programmers when it comes to cover the CLI and Android use cases. Lumo and Planck are awesome Clojurescript runtimes that start up virtually instantaneously and make great choices for writing scripts.
