boot-cljs-repl

/hoplon/javelin you get reactivity in an unobtrusive way. You can separate you app state with it, just like you put data into a spreadsheet and wire up a chart to it which will update automatically. Your DOM is the equivalent of that chart in this case. * cljs repl -> https://github.com/adzerk-oss/boot-cljs-repl but in practice it was hardly ever used by boot/hoplon people, so it's a bit neglected now. * server-client state sharing: Hoplon + Javelin + https://github.com/hoplon/castra It's a bit under-documented... probably because it's so super simple... :) Castra does a remote function call via XHR and puts the result into a Javelin cell. If that cell is wired up to a DOM element (attribute or content), either directly or transformed by a formula cell, then your DOM updates automatically once the XHR call finishes. Errors are placed into an error cell, which can also be wired to the DOM... * Falcor / GraphQL ... I have NOT done this yet but I'm planning to "just" pass Datomic queries via Castra to the backend and that's it. I can't "subscribe to live query" this way, but that's good enough for us. It's also just 1 HTTP end-point. No more RESTful rigidity... ;) * Vim/REPL: We are just fine with the good old `(print)` and `(serve {:reload true})` from https://github.com/pandeiro/boot-http on the backend. Also we just use Sublime Text with paredit and lispindent. It's super fast even on 4-5 year old machines... * Chestnut template / plugin: With boot this problem set shrinks to a size where distinction between template and plugin vanishes. You can create a .jar which defines a boot task. That task either creates a template project or defines a build step which u can intermix with other build steps using plain-vanilla function composition. Your environments are also just tasks combining specific build steps with specific options. Nothing custom or magical. * Om: Again: Try Hoplon. Fraction of the complexity. * CLJSJS: Your worries regarding extern files and maintenance are not a problem in practice really. We are maintaining a Semantic UI package https://github.com/exicon/hoplon-semantic-ui and just the other day I whipped up externs files for Google Analytics (3 lines), HubSpot (5 lines), Inspectlet (6 lines). See https://github.com/exicon/homepage/tree/master/src Disclaimer: I've started using Clojure ~10month ago. Never really used Lein but experienced all of its pains via Grunt and Gulp I suspect... Trained ~8 people to work with Boot & Hoplon during these months by pair programming with them. We don't really miss anything else, though we looked into Emacs, Vim, IntelliJ, LightTable. There are some rough edges and missing documentation, but http://hoplon.discoursehosting.net/ and the #hoplon & #boot channels on http://clojurians.net/ Slack and freenode IRC https://botbot.me/freenode/hoplon/ were more than sufficient.
