For now, this repository serves to share the knowledge on how to achieve above
and I don't intend to release a library or framework :)

## Motivation

I wanted to build web application very quickly. I find predominantly functional
language such as Clojure to be a very powerful choice for speeding up the
application development. Meanwhile, I wanted to leverage the development
by the tools other people built and tested well already. So I chose to combine
ClojureScript and node.js. This way, I can take advantage of very rich set of
JavaScript libraries managed by [npm](https://www.npmjs.com). I don't have to
switch language (e.g. Python <-> JavaScript) to develop backend and frontend.

## What you need to install

1. Node.js
