Setup a new Clojure & ClojureScript project in a jiffy!

One of my major hurdles when starting with Clojure / Clojurescript was the tooling and project setup. Know how easy it is to setup a Rails / Django / React project and get something running? This talk / live coding session will hopefully help explain how to do that with Clojure & Clojurescript (but more explicitly, no templates!).

We'll start with an empty directory, add deps.edn, a server rendered website, then add an API and then add a frontend SPA using shadow-cljs and reagent.

If time permits, we can also go through advanced topics like adding reitit routing, aero configurations, integrant state lifecycle, deployment, app vs workers, testing via kaocha etc
