23 December 2015 It’s been a very exciting year for ClojureScript. It’s clear that things have been accelerating and here is a personal selection of highlights: CLJSJS While technically it appeared in late 2014, CLJSJS took off when ClojureScript landed enhanced and standardized support for foreign dependencies in January. Thanks to the tireless work of many contributors, the wider community of Cl

21 December 2014 UPDATE: This post now contains obsolete information. Please read the new ClojureScript Quick Start instead As of ClojureScript 0.0-2505 support for Node.js has improved to the point where a browserless workflow is now quite productive. I now prefer this approach when developing libraries where dealing with the browser is a distraction. To show how fun and easy it is I’ve updated m

mori A library for using ClojureScript's persistent data structures and supporting API from the comfort of vanilla JavaScript. Rationale JavaScript is a powerful and flexible dynamic programming language with a beautiful simple associative model at its core. However this design comes at the cost of ubiquitous mutability. Mori embraces the simple associative model but leaves mutability behind. Mori

07 November 2013 While none of the ideas in core.async are new, understanding how to solve problems with CSP is simply not as well documented as using plain callbacks or Promises. My previous posts have mostly explored fairly sophisticated uses of core.async, this post instead takes the form of a very basic tutorial on using core.async with ClojureScript. We’re going to demonstrate all the steps r

24 August 2013 Last night I expressed some frustration about the state and future of concurrency in JavaScript. I ended up having a little bit of back and forth with David Herman and he pointed out that ES6 Generators can express Go and core.async’s flavor of CSP. Now I had thought about this in the past but I could not see how. Part of this was that I’d never seen how a CSP system works under the

12 July 2013 With the arrival of core.async, ClojureScript provides a powerful advantage over other popular compile to JavaScript languages like CoffeeScript, Dart, and TypeScript. These languages fail to address the single largest source of incidental complexity for any sizeable client side application - concurrency. In my experience no amount of simple syntactic sugar, class abstraction, or type

10 June 2013 I apologize for not wrapping up my series of posts on nominal logic programming, I’ll return to that bit of fun soon enough. But lets take leave of theoretical computer science and turn to something more “pragmatic”. In this post I want to talk about my port of Notch’s beautiful Minecraft JavaScript demo to ClojureScript. When I say beautiful I’m not referring to the code - frankly it
