State of ClojureScript 2025 Survey is live state-of-clojurescript.com If you ever wanted to know what's happening in cljs world, and using the language at work or for hobby projects, fill out the survey. And share it with others! Results will be shared in January next year.
Posted about my ongoing experiment to bring React Compiler to Clojure/UIx, link below
spoiler: it works :)

Largest attack on Ukraine last night yet, but yeah, clearly Putin is open to peace and Trump will personally solve this in uh how long ago was that supposed to happen? www.france24.com/en/europe/20...
drones drones multiple days in a row, funny how you get used to shots and explosions
Thanks!
Error boundaries have been supported in my implementation of server-side rendering almost from the beginning. Under the hood they are a try-catch, synchronously retrying the rendering with the captured error.
got React Context working across server and client components in my Clojure implementation of RSC
while context is not supported in js implementations, in Clojure it aligns quite nicely with `binding` macro, so it would be a shame to not have this working across the boundary
An update on RSC port to Clojure: form actions, data fetching, batching, caching and error handling romanliutikov.com/blog/towards...
iirc Next also implements secure scope capturing, which is even more questionable, but at least the data is not exposed to the client. IMO all bound args should be stored on server, tied to user session.
How do you find the concept of partial application of server functions on the backend? I did implement it, but it fees like a huge footgun to me, given that bound values are exposed to a client.
Not great for perf, but probably negligible. EDN is a native wire format in Clojure, so developer experience here matters more than performance.
Interesting. In Clojure we use persistent data types to pass data around, and in my impl I’ve decided to embed the data (in EDN format) into RSC payload. This means double parsing Flight -> JSON -> embedded EDN -> Clojure types.
That’s what I do in Clojure impl as well. Both, client components and server functions have to be marked explicitly.
Nice! Any interesting observations on how RSC implementation in OCaml is different from JS?
rebuilt this React Router demo with my Clojure port of RSC, still wip but lots of stuff already working uix-rsc-movies.fly.dev
Yeah its primary use case is data transmission between services and/or clients written in Clojure. For JS target it’s json based, but otherwise its binary and should probably support async values, though it’s an exotic requirement (outside of RSCs if I might guess)
Checkout Transit format, its extensible and supports rich data types encoding github.com/cognitect/tr...
I’ll be there sharing my experience with Clojure in WASM 👋
// Import Attributes import data from "./resource.json" with { type: "json" };
It was about time, wasn't it? 😅 👇
But now, with Firefox 138 all major browser engines support import attributes to import JSON from within your ECMAScript modules. 👇
✅ Chromium: 123+
✅ Safari: 17.2+
✅ Firefox: 138+ (released 2w ago)
PS. This syntax works in modern Node.js, too!
ooh now I get it, ok, I got an impression that RSC's model is not limited to server->client but wasn't sure since everywhere I read it's explicitly mentioning that interleaving is a no no
afaik this is also doable in RSC, just that the server component must be passed as a prop to a client component
Having server as a shell with client components at leaves makes a lot of sense, and it's easy to understand. I don't know electric well, but this demo demonstrates the idea electric.hyperfiddle.net/tutorial/dir... and I think it's a valid use cases as well.
I'm working on Clojure port of RSC, more info in these blog posts romanliutikov.com/blog/towards... romanliutikov.com/blog/towards...
not sure if it makes sense to differentiate between backend languages for rsc, but it's interesting to see how those concepts are shaped by different platforms
Clojure port of React's server components is coming along nicely, this update brings streaming SSR, route prefetching and more romanliutikov.com/blog/towards...
Someone asked me to print a couple of pages recently, I spent an hour figuring out how to connect and then print on both sides of a paper correctly 🤦
Thanks!
maybe that's my bubble, where do you get the data from?
is that mentality still holds true among devs who came to frontend in the past ~5 years? I'm under impression that folks just don't think about it anymore and use frameworks to get their jobs done
yeah that's what I mean, should add an example with props passing, thanks
I was thinking more about Electric Clojure framework here, which allows arbitrary composition github.com/hyperfiddle/...
thanks! good point, I'll redact that missinfo
