Filipe Silva (https://github.com/filipesilva) will be presenting:
“Invoker: functions are all you need”

Invoker is a zero config CLI, HTTP, and REPL interface for Clojure.

Commands will automatically connect to an existing nREPL server if available using .nrepl-port. The nvk http and nvk repl commands start a nREPL server that can be connected to.

Invoker aims to make the following usecases easy:

  • making a simple webapp from scratch, possibly with Datomic
  • running functions and inspecting atoms inside an existing process
  • running targetted tests with reloaded code
  • allowing agents to interact with your clojure process
  • adding dependencies and reloading code without restarting the process
