I recently have been building a internal web app for managing customers and am super happy with shadow-cljs (develop/build) + reagent (view) + re-frame (state/events) + garden (css).

I especially like how easy shadow-cljs makes it to utilize both clojars and npm pacakges. I have been using JS/TS for a long time and feel like any webdev without npm packages would not be worth my time, especially for projects at work.

Re-frame has a very robust api for dealing with events, side effects, and state. Once I got used to the concepts in the documentation, very good docs but a little goofy, It has quickly become the most efficient and fun tool I have ever used to prototype complex frontend interfaces :)

Glad to be using cljs at work, but I'm not sure I would use this stack for non-internal tooling though.


Nice to hear a current user! The last part is a bit scary, what would push you against using it for external facing products?
