Web Apps in Clojure and ClojureScript with Pedestal

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Shows a real project: a sales‑funnel visualization ingesting about 1,000 events/sec and updating the browser twice a second, with architecture (collectors → aggregators → Datomic → analyzer → browser) and a demo comparing main‑thread pauses to a responsive web‑worker run. Pedestal claims a clear separation of concerns, using a single tree information model, message+queue-driven dataflow, a widget API for DOM/third‑party libs, replayable message logs, and planned core.async channel integration.
