[2016-03-02 Wed 19:33] speaker: Jethro Kuan event: ClojureSG meetup

  • lein is for the general case
  • plugins are not composable
  • boot is a library to create a build script
  • task ~ stateful transducer
  • task is function that takes a next-handler and return a handler
  • handler takes in a fileset, an immutable value, and produce a new fileset
  • built-in watch sub command
  • pods are separate clojure runtimes on the same jvm
  • lein uses separate jvms for your app
  • boot can load in dependencies dynamically
