Software GR Presents Anatoly Polinsky: Clojure is powerful, simple and fun

Abstract

Clojure is powerful, simple and fun. Depending on how the application state is managed, these 3 superpowers can either stay, go somewhat, or go completely. Apps we build for clients are quite different from tools and libraries on github; they are full of state. While there are frameworks that allow you to join the "application context party", this talk will take a very different approach to manage and reload Clojure and ClojureScript state with the help of a tiny library called "mount (https://github.com/tolitius/mount)".
