Transforming Enterprise Development With Clojure
summary
Claims Clojure lets teams “move fast sustainably” by combining REPL-driven development with a tiny surface area of code; demo builds a guestbook from scratch: Leiningen template Luminus, migrations packaged with the app, SQL written with HugSQL becomes callable functions, services exposed via Compojure-API with an auto-generated Swagger UI, frontend in ClojureScript/Reagent using atoms for state, hot reload via Figwheel, then packaged as an uberjar — the core server logic is about ten lines and round-trips work immediately.
