Hello, I really enjoy clojure for back-end work and have been exploring using clojurescript for the front end of an upcoming project.
Quickly you run into the issue of integrating external libs. From reading the list and from Rich's cljs rationale, I gather that the best practice is to use google closure whenever applicable. That largely eliminates the need for libraries like jQuery, which is very cool. But(!) there are some libraries I use regularly that are not so easy to replace with closure, like three.js (webgl). My ideal outcome when using these libs would be that I: A.) Retain the ability to compile the cljs portion of my code with :advanced, saving ~200kb (pretty important for production code). B.) Yet somehow maintain integration with these internal libs. In my initial tests this doesn't work out of the box, since :advanced mode mangles any function calls to the external libs. After some research it looks like the answer is externs[1]. However, js projects that maintain an extern file seem to be few and far between, and generating one correctly for a library as large as three.js is daunting. So what are other people doing? Is there another solution to this out there? If not, maybe an extern autogenerator written in clojure would be a good solution. - Jason [1]: http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/api-tutorial3.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
