webfui

All this talk of jQuery and no mention of domina (https://github.com/levand/domina) the native clojurescript dom manipulation library? I've since abandoned css and jquery selectors in favor of using domina.xpath. I also want to mention webfui (https://github.com/drcode/webfui). It is authored by Conrad Barski, who also wrote Land of Lisp. He gave a nice talk about it at the Chicago Clojure meetup group a few months back. He is a fellow hacker news user so I figured he deserved a shout out.

Cool! I am wondering if you have worked with other frameworks like Pedestal.io, C2, or WebFUI, Ganelon. Or any others. What do you think of them? I am just getting started with Clojure/CS and am evaluating the different options. http://pedestal.io/ http://keminglabs.com/c2/ https://github.com/drcode/webfui http://ganelon.tomeklipski.com/

does Dommy provide a pure API on top of the DOM? (e.g., lens based) I don't immediately understand how one would make that performant given that the DOM is a mutable data structure. edit: WebFUI[1] is one clojurescript project trying to provide a pure interface for dom manipulation; there are others.

i don't think i'm confusing anything. Clojure programmers love their persistent data structures, and in a browser environment, the most important data structure - the document model object - is not persistent and cannot be made persistent in a performant manner because it is a native api. there is ongoing research into dom manipulaton in clojurescript - Conrad Barski presented one approach[1] at Conj 2012 where the dom is mirrored in clojurescript data structures, and then 'synced' with the dom - so that way the imperative ickyness is tucked away in the sync method - it remains to be seen if that can be made fast enough until we get a native persistent interface to the dom.
