Libraries & Books.

• lambdaisland/uri is a clj/cljs library for handling URIs, including RFC compatible joining of relative URIs (./foo, ../bar).

Foundations.

• Rust’s language ergonomics initiative + HN comments. Something like this for Clojure would be amazing.
• Accidentally Quadratic - Capistrano server definition
• Java 9 Enters First Bug Fixing Round
• JVM Options cheat sheet

Tools.

• Gradle’s new compile avoidance and incremental compilation look really good. Perhaps some of the same techniques could be used for ClojureScript compilation? There are also features to help prevent library consumers depend on transitive dependencies.
• Using lein-test-refresh with expectations
• repl.it now supports Clojure
• Clojure oriented Ergodox layout
• lein-blacklist is a plugin to stop certain namespaces from being required.

Recent Developments.

• CLJS-1954: ClojureScript 1.9.493 and up break usage of core.async, due to an updated Google Closure dependency
• Release date for 1.9 (spoiler: there isn’t one yet)

Learning.
