ClojureScript - Making Front-End development Fun again

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Live code builds a small single-page conference app (session list, add-session form) that updates in the browser and keeps working while code changes are pushed. Uses Leiningen + Figwheel, the browser REPL for REPL-driven development, Google Closure compilation and a React-like layer (Reagent/React interop) plus Bootstrap for styling. Emphasizes immutable data, pure functions and STM for controlled mutations (immutable data + pure functions), with Figwheel hot reload making the workflow fast and iterative.
