Session uses Om, https://github.com/swannodette/om You should definitely check it out to understand the rendering model. Session's renderer is entirely client side, and in clojurescript. This is a plus in the simplicity column. The software engineering of actually adding new renderers to session is a (temporary) pain, which is a minus. (Basically you need to clone yantra, https://github.com/kovasb/yantra, and used that cloned copy in Session). The main difference is that Session's renderer exposes the full power of the browser platform. You can do arbitrary, interactive, client-side stuff. That is difficult to pull off if you are sending bits of HTML from server to client. One thing I really like about Om is that there is no intermediary format/layer between the user-facing API and the platform. In Mathematica, and in Gorilla, there is a base layer of primitives that the user compiles to, and then the system interpretes in terms of the platform. In both cases, the system is a black box from the point of view of primary language; if the system doesn't provide a primitive, you have to pop open the black box and deal with a completely different world (C++ in Mathematica's case, Javascript in Gorilla's). In Om there is no black box or impedance mismatch. Just clojurescript programming all the way down to the platform's capabilities. The user can create constructs at parity with the built-ins. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
