Getting Superpowers with Clojure and ClojureScript
summary
Demonstrates using Clojure/ClojureScript with an editor+REPL workflow to edit running server code, add a new /net-info route, and hot-evaluate namespaces on a staging JVM to return JSON with parsed X-Forwarded-Port header, IP type (IPv4/IPv6) via Java socket classes, and TCP round‑trip headers. Shows live-patching that debugs dropped connections without redeploy, interop with Java/JavaScript, and briefly mentions fast-start scripts with Babashka as an alternative.
