Clojure[*], or running lisp on various platforms for fun and profit
Details
More than being "just" a language, Clojure actually comes in different flavours, each targeting a different host platform. Tonight we'll be exploring how to unleash the Power of the Parenthesis™ on the .NET platform and on NodeJS.
Tonight we'll be back in Utrecht, with the fine people at Mediquest being our dear hosts. Yay Mediquest!
This is the agenda for the evening:
• 18:45 🍕 Doors open // Pizza time
• 19:15 🌋Steven Thonus: Server side rendered ClojureScript on NodeJS
• 19:45 🧬Cees van Kemenade: Working with clojure on a .NET stack
• 20:30 🍻Networking // hallway chit-chats
=== Our Talks ===
Server side rendered ClojureScript on NodeJS
In previous projects I worked with server side rendering. For a lot of customer facing websites sharing content and having great search engine results is important. With highly dynamic content and a wide audience, this can be quit challenging to get right. Server side rendering can help out here but I could not find a nice and complete solution using ClojureScript. Tonight I will talk about a small project setup which can do all this for you.

Working with clojure on a .NET stack
Within Mediquest we primarily worked with a .NET stack (C# + T-SQL). Over the past 4 years we have been using ClojureCLR maintained by David Miller to leverage Clojure on our systems and to integrate Clojure applications in C# applications. This worked well for us although there were a few challenges. Currently are moving part of our business to a cloud environment where Clojure for JVM suits us better. We like to share with you:
· Our learnings on ClojureCLR
· Show you how we integrated ClojureCLR with our .NET applications
· The path we take to make our clojure applications run smoothly on both .NET and JVM
