Moldable Live Programming with Clerk
summary
Clerk is a Clojure live-programming toolbox that evaluates regular namespaces, caches results and re-evaluates only changes to provide nearly instant feedback. It exposes a viewers API and a sync mechanism that binds frontend inputs to Clojure atoms, powering interactive widgets and tiny apps — e.g., a regex-dictionary UI implemented in 45 lines of code. Other deliverables include a Lucene-powered log dashboard, a color-visualizing docs system, an experimental code outliner/debugger called Tracy, and Garden, a GitHub-backed static publisher for notebooks.
