Discover how core.async’s go blocks and channels simplify async UI workflows in ClojureScript, compare to callbacks, see a concrete example and practical limits.
A concise guide to picking :none, :simple or :advanced for ClojureScript production builds.
Use externs files to protect external JavaScript names when compiling ClojureScript with :optimizations :advanced.
Learn how to build reactive user interfaces in ClojureScript using Reagent atoms and Shadow-CLJS for efficient state management and hot-reloading.
Use core.async go blocks to turn callback-heavy ClojureScript UI code into sequential logic without blocking the browser event loop.
Configure ClojureScript code splitting with Closure Compiler modules using cljs.main or shadow-cljs. Define a base module, add feature entry points, verify output sizes, and implement runtime loading with error recovery.
ClojureScript's :advanced compilation can shrink a Reagent app from 180 KB to 45 KB gzipped, but only if you describe every external JavaScript dependency in externs files. This post shows the size gains, the externs pitfall, and a practical CI profile strategy.
Reagent lets ClojureScript developers write React UI in Hiccup syntax, using atoms for reactive state and hot reloading via shadow‑cljs. This blog explains its benefits, shows a counter example, discusses performance trade‑offs, and gives a practical checklist to get started.
Create plain JavaScript objects in ClojureScript with #js literals, read nested properties safely using goog.object, and isolate mutation at the interop boundary.
