  3. fulcro

    A library for development of single-page full-stack web applications in clj/cljs

  4. Graal

    GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

    Ah, yeah, that's probably a bit far off in the future. Probably would be possible via GraalVM once GC is available, https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/3391

  5. reagent

    A minimalistic ClojureScript interface to React.js

    * Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

  6. ring

    Clojure HTTP server abstraction

    * HTTP: Ring is the de facto way to manage HTTP request (see https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Concepts). Jetty and Aleph are common web servers (and https://github.com/clj-commons/aleph) that implement Ring interface.

  7. aleph

    Asynchronous streaming communication for Clojure - web server, web client, and raw TCP/UDP

    * HTTP: Ring is the de facto way to manage HTTP request (see https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Concepts). Jetty and Aleph are common web servers (and https://github.com/clj-commons/aleph) that implement Ring interface.

  8. htmx

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

    * Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

  10. reitit

    A fast data-driven routing library for Clojure/Script

  11. shadow-cljs

    ClojureScript compilation made easy

    * Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

  12. re-frame

    A ClojureScript framework for building user interfaces, leveraging React

    * Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

  13. hiccup

    Fast library for rendering HTML in Clojure

    * Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

  14. malli

    High-performance data-driven data specification library for Clojure/Script.

  15. mount

    managing Clojure and ClojureScript app state since (reset)

    * Lifecycle management: Mount, Integrant or Component (https://github.com/tolitius/mount https://github.com/weavejester/integrant and https://github.com/stuartsierra/component)

  16. integrant

    Micro-framework for data-driven architecture

    * Lifecycle management: Mount, Integrant or Component (https://github.com/tolitius/mount https://github.com/weavejester/integrant and https://github.com/stuartsierra/component)

  17. component

    Managed lifecycle of stateful objects in Clojure (by stuartsierra)

    * Lifecycle management: Mount, Integrant or Component (https://github.com/tolitius/mount https://github.com/weavejester/integrant and https://github.com/stuartsierra/component)

  18. aero

    A small library for explicit, intentful configuration. (by juxt)

  19. environ

    Library for managing environment variables in Clojure (by weavejester)

  20. mulog

    μ/log is a micro-logging library that logs events and data, not words!

  21. tick

    Time as a value.

  22. kaocha

    Full featured next gen Clojure test runner

  23. timbre

    Pure Clojure/Script logging library

    Mentioning μ/log and no mention of timbre (https://github.com/taoensso/timbre), that is an odd omission. Malli is a great mention, but there ought to be a mention of clojure.spec (https://github.com/clojure/spec.alpha) which has much more mindshare.

  24. spec.alpha

    Clojure library to describe the structure of data and functions (by clojure)

    Mentioning μ/log and no mention of timbre (https://github.com/taoensso/timbre), that is an odd omission. Malli is a great mention, but there ought to be a mention of clojure.spec (https://github.com/clojure/spec.alpha) which has much more mindshare.
