Composing (Clojure) Web Stacks using Functional First Principles

on YouTube ↗01h 07m

" summary

Claim: a usable web stack is composable from libraries using functional-first principles. Demo shows a REPL-driven development loop using nREPL and Emacs, spins two Jetty + Ring servers (one on port 3000), and an echo handler that returns the full request map and is then converted to JSON via a JSON library. Routing uses multi-method routing and tests run (reporting 2 tests and 11 assertions). Everything runs live and is extendable without a monolithic framework.
