clojurebridge nyc

Went to ClojureBridge today to learn Clojure! It was a great event and liked that there were plenty of TAs around to help. Almost a 1:1 ratio!

The project I worked on was setting up spacemacs with clojurescript.

There’s a clojure layer that lets you compile clojure code, but compiling clojurescript requires another plugin called lein-figwheel. With spacemacs you’d specifically need figwheel-sidecar, which is in the sidecar directory.

Clojurescript projects usually have a project config file in the root directory, something like project.clj

I worked through the Reagent tutorial, it is supposedly easier though Om is another react variant and they also has a tutorial.
