Ep 072: Sea of Sockets

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you’d like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: “Organizing our websocket code.” We switch to using a component to manage our websockets, enabling ease of development and future growth.

Selected quotes:

• “It feels like every time I use a global, a butterfly dies.”
• “We don’t want to leave the REPL!”
• “It’s important to keep the abstraction un-leaky.”
• “When you lower the cognitive load of programming, that makes it more enjoyable.”
