Tornado-like async (web) server framework?

There is a lovely little web server for Python called Tornado. Tornado is an async server that also includes an async http client that plugs right in the server's event loop. This makes it really simple to build scalable web services that call other web services, which is what I mostly use it fo

Using Compojure's defroutes in a macro

I have this Compojure code that works fine: (defroutes my-routes (GET "/api" (my-code request))) I want this code to be generated by a macro. My real code is more complex but the error is the same. (defmacro mydefroutes [] `(defroutes my-routes (GET "/api" (my-code req

Functions and vars and meta-data

Another one related to my previous question about meta-data. user> (defn #^{ :xxx 1} foo [] "foo") #'user/foo user> (defn #^{ :xxx 2} bar [] "bar") #'user/bar I need to do something similar to this: user> (map #(:xxx (meta %)) [foo bar]) (nil nil) Basically accessing the meta data of a functio

Adding meta data to a function (from a macro)

I'm trying to do this: (defmacro my-defn [name & body] `(defn- #^{ :foo-tag "blah" } ~name [] ~...@body)) The idea is that foo will be defined and that {:foo-tag "blah"} is added to its meta-data. But that does not seem to work: user> (my-defn foo (println "Hello")) #'user/foo use

Syntax highlighting clojure code

I want to post some Clojure code to my blog. Does anyone know of a simple, preferably online, code highlighter for Clojure or Lisp that turns code into simple html with either a stylesheet or just tags? S. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message be

Memoize improvement

This is some of my first Clojure code so it might not be the greatest ... yet! Here is an improved memoize function that also takes a time-to-live argument. Useful when you want to expire results from the cache. I'm using it to cache query results from a database. This probably breaks som

Periodic tasks

What is a good and simple way to run periodic tasks in Clojure? I need to run a simple function every couple of minutes. And make sure that if it throws an exception that it won't kill the periodic task. I come from a Spring world where XML, Timers, Jobs and Quartz rule the world, so am hop
