Ep 071: Socket Synergy

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Using websockets for notification." We wander into the weeds, jumping through the myriad hoops required to deliver a simple notification.

Selected quotes:

• "It's like we're taking a regular series and upgrading it somehow."
• "Welcome to programming, where you'll spend hours diving into rabbit holes; and still love your work!"
• "That sentence you just said sounds something they would say in a movie that would make all the programmers in the audience roll their eyes simultaneously."
• "We just replaced one problem with another."
