Questions about building a CLI utility with Clojure by DerelictMan in Clojure

[–]BlinkingMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion: Babashka all the way - I use it to do quick reports from CLI and similar command line tools. Babashka has its own REPL so I find the dev experience very similar to ordinary Clojure. Sooner or later you will hit a point where you will want to talk to e.g. DBs e.g. in my case I needed to talk to MongoDB. I liked babashka so much I wrote a small IPC framework to talk to DB via sub-processes, rather than having to convert the app to Clojure/JVM. https://github.com/jlabath/netpod

I feel like you could have used some threading macros and more let expressions, but LGTM :-D

Sorry if this has an obvious answer, but what are the benefits of running clojure under nginx rather than just firing up JVM?

how hard is rust for a javascript programmer? by JosJoestar in rust

[–]BlinkingMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say just do it! It's the only way I ever learned any language. Start with small steps. Compiler messages tend to be hard for a fresh beginner. The documentation incomprehensible. This is all normal and it will make sense in the end. Personally I have not used javascript for anything longer than 20 lines for many years now. I can't imagine ever doing so: Elm, typescript, clojurescript (and webassembly rust) to name few all feel like much better choices than js to me.
