Hacker News with Generative AI: Clojure

Clojure MCP (github.com/bhauman)
This project is in early development and rapidly evolving. While I've found it invaluable for working with Clojure projects and it has significantly improved my development workflow, expect breaking changes, rough edges, and incomplete documentation.

Clojuring the web application stack: Meditation One (evalapply.org)
In a land bereft of a canonical "killer app" web framework or two, one must think about the what, why, how, where of all the moving parts.

LSP client in Clojure in 200 lines of code (vlaaad.github.io)
Awhile ago I was prototyping integrating LLMs with LSP to enable a language model to answer questions about code while having access to code navigation tools provided by language servers. I wasn’t that successful with this prototype, but I found it cool that I could write a minimal LSP client in around 200 lines of code.

Why I ever wrote Clojure (thesoftwarephilosopher.com)

Old Lisp (2018) (thisoldlisp.com)
Lisp was invented 60 years ago. Coral Common Lisp, the ancestor of today's Clozure Common Lisp, was released over 30 years ago. Over this time, processor architectures and operating systems have come and gone, but Clozure CL (under various names and forms) has survived and is still with us today. Clozure CL, Common Lisp, and Lisp itself are the product of many intelligent and clever people.

Why Clojure? (gaiwan.co)
Clojure is not one of the handful of "big" mainstream languages. This means that sometimes people are surprised that we are all in on Clojure. Why go against the grain? Why make it harder for yourself by building on niche technology?

Clojure core.async.flow (github.com/clojure)
The fundamental objective of core.async.flow is to enable a strict separation of your application logic from its topology, execution, communication, lifecycle, monitoring and error handling, all of which are provided by and centralized in, c.a.flow, yielding more consistent, robust, testable, observable and operable systems.

Why I Chose Common Lisp (djhaskin.com)
After ~7 years, I was done with Clojure. I was writing a some CLI apps, and I hated how long they took to start up. The community at large seemed not to care about this problem, except for the babashka folks. However, I spent long, hard hours banging my head against native-image and it just wasn't working out. It was incredibly painful, and at the end of it, I still didn't have standalone, fast-starting native executables.

Why we built Vade Studio in Clojure (vadelabs.com)
A server crash during a Valentine's date became the turning point. The pursuit of technical complexity was costing more than just code - it was costing life itself. This is a story of how three developers built an ambitious no-code platform using Clojure.

Clojure Don'ts: Concat (stuartsierra.com)
concat is a tricky little function. The name suggests a way to combine two collections. And it is, if you have only two collections. But it’s not as general as you might think. It’s not really a collection function at all. It’s a lazy sequence function. The difference can be important.
