That is an ambitious project. Divide and conquer. One super duper benefit of Clojure is that if you make a web app with, say, just Ring and Compojure, you can later transplant that work into a more elaborate app scaffolding, because it's all just plain maps.
"quite a lot of map manipulation going on with the request and response maps" On the bright side, map manipulation is *all* that is going on. There are no side effects. Therefore, it can be very helpful to log the request and response maps. For example, make a Ring handler that does nothing but log the request, delegate to the next handler, log its response, and return its response; then stick that handler wherever in the handler stack makes you curious. Using the Emacs CIDER REPL you may change the handler stack and fiddle with logging while the program runs, so logging is a convenient debugging technique. "unless, of course, I read and understand their source" On the bright side again, there is not much source code there, at least compared with what you'd expect in Java. Also, the jar that Maven (etc) can fetch for you *is* the source code, and Emacs can open such jars and browse the files inside. Some of the libraries have overview documentation that puts the API docs in context. Keep the Ring SPEC open, and the Liberator graph too if you can figure out how to view more than a tiny bit of it. By all means point out gaps in the docs on the libraries' respective issue trackers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
