  • Let's write a simple microservice in Clojure
    7 projects | dev.to | 26 Apr 2024
    The session logs show that the application loads configurations and establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL database. This involves initializing a HikariCP connection pool and Flyway for database migrations. The logs confirm that the database schema validation and migration checks were successful. The startup of the Jetty HTTP server follows, and the server becomes operational and ready to accept requests on the specified port.
  • Example Java Application with Embedded Jetty and a htmx Website
    3 projects | dev.to | 28 Mar 2024
    As described on eclipse.dev/jetty: "Jetty provides a web server and servlet container, additionally providing support for HTTP/2, WebSocket, OSGi, JMX, JNDI, JAAS and many other integrations. These components are open source and are freely available for commercial use and distribution."
  • Spring Boot Monitoring with Open-Source Tools

    Manual instrumentation allows you to define your Spans within the code itself rather than relying on automatic instrumentation finding the entry point for a trace. Manual instrumentation is especially helpful for applications that don’t use an application server such as Tomcat, JBoss, or Jetty.

    So, 9.4.48 fixes the first two CVEs, but the last one doesn't mention 9.4 at all, so I'm not sure if that's left out due to EOL status for 9.4.

    If you're doing something pretty simple and need something really lighweight, however, you could go with something like Javalin or even use Jetty directly (the HTTP server which powers Javalin and many other frameworks by default). It's not that hard to do that and that's what I actually would do myself for almost everything... the fewer moving parts you have in your application, the better chances you have of keeping everything up-to-date and the less chance to mess up (with a caveat: bigger frameworks may give you secure defaults that if you're not experienced enough you may not even know about, so it may be better to not go low level if you're new-ish to running web applications securely).
  • The 12-Factor App Building Methodology
    3 projects | dev.to | 2 Jul 2022
    Example: Little Johnny was developing a Java web app and thinking about how he would configure Tomcat to listen to requests and redirect the data into his app... until he remembered this would violate Factor 7! Instead, he decided to declare Jetty as a dependency, keeping the HTTP service inside the app instead of configuring an external web server and then injecting its functionalities. Now, whenever he wants to instantiate another server for this app, all he has to do is installing dependencies and running the app, isn't it convenient?

    Hi /r/java! Jetty is considering implementing dynamic Brotli compression, but the current JVM wrapper for Google's Brotli (jvm-brotli) is somewhat ... abandoned.

  • Let's write a simple microservice in Clojure
    7 projects | dev.to | 26 Apr 2024
    This article will explain how to write a simple service in Clojure. The sweet spot of making applications in Clojure is that you can expressively use an entire rich Java ecosystem. Less code, less boilerplate: it is possible to achieve more with less. In this example, I use most of the libraries from the Java world; everything else is a thin Clojure wrapper around Java libraries.

  • A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Nov 2023
    I have a tangential question that is related to this cool new feature.

    Warning: the question I ask comes from a part of my brain that is currently melted due to heavy thinking.

    Context: I write a fair amount of Clojure, and in Lisps the code itself is a tree. Just like this F# parallel graph type-checker. In Lisps, one would use Macros to perform compile-time computation to accomplish something like this, I think.

    More context: Idris2 allows for first class type-driven development, where the types are passed around and used to formally specify program behavior, even down to the value of a particular definition.

    Given that this F# feature enables parallel analysis, wouldn't it make sense to do all of our development in a Lisp-like Trie structure where the types are simply part of the program itself, like in Idris2?

    Also related, is this similar to how HVM works with their "Interaction nets"?

    https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/HVM

    https://www.idris-lang.org/

    https://clojure.org/

    I'm afraid I don't even understand what the difference between code, data, and types are anymore... it used to make sense, but these new languages have dissolved those boundaries in my mind, and I am not sure how to build it back up again.

  • Ask HN: Why does the Clojure ecosystem feel like such a wasteland?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Sep 2023
    As an analogy - my face hasn't changed all that much in a past few years, and I haven't changed my profile picture in those few years. Does it really mean that I'm unmaintained/dead?

    > Where can I find latest documentation [...]?

    The answer is still https://clojure.org/. And https://clojuredocs.org/ but it's community-maintained so might occasionally be missing some things right after they're released. E.g. as of this moment Clojure 1.11 is still not there since the maintainer of the website has some technical issues deploying the updated version of the website.

    For me personally, the best API-level documentation is the source code.

    > Where can I find [...] tools / libraries in a easy to use page or section?

    There's no central repository of all the available things since they can be loaded from many places (Clojars, Maven Central, other Maven repositories, S3, Git, local files).

    But there are community-maintained lists, like the one you've mentioned at https://www.clojure-toolbox.com (fully manual, AFAIK) or the one at https://phronmophobic.github.io/dewey/search.html (automated but only for GitHub). Perhaps there are others but I'm not familiar with them - most of the time, I myself don't find that much value in such services as I'm usually able to find things with a regular web search engine or ask the community when I need something in particular.

  • Why Lisp Syntax Works

    They are written in Java, and implement a bunch of interfaces, so the implementation looks complicated, but they are basically just classes with head and tail fields.

  • Why I decided to learn (and teach) Clojure

    Lisp is not a programming language, but a family of languages ​​with many dialects. The most famous dialects include Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Racket. So after deciding that I was going to learn Lisp, I had to choose one of its dialects.

    I learned Clojure to implement a plugin for Metabase (the tool my former company used for creating business dashboards). I probably won’t ever use the language anymore in the future, but learning functional programming was fun and eye-opening.
