The font colors on that page, especially in the code snippets are so low contrast that I can hardly read it. It's a topic I'm interested in but the styling is keeping me from reading it.
I know that there are bookmarklets, etc, which will make it readable, but the author should take note.
Side note: I like it when authors include a link the the HN discussions(when they are apart of the community) in their article so I don't bookmark both. So thanks :)
I find that the discussions on HN are always better than having comments on the blog itself... Also it means I don't have to curate comments on the blog.
Thanks for this Chris. I've been learning Clojure in my free time, and you've combined several of the things that most interest me in one post (noir, overtone, and clojurescript).
Is there ANYTHING out there that does not consist of jumping through 15 different install hoops to get a stupid page up on a screen?
really? is it that FUCKING HARD?
Now I install this,
now I use that library,
now I download that,
but to use THAT, I need THIS, so wget this,
Now I install that, that and this
still no freakin 2 bit screen
Now I install this, but for that I need homebrew schmoppa ichenwald library no. 2
Now I get that library, that one, not THAT one because of that one line,
Now ... I open an editor
Now I install that ...
Still 3 modules away
Now I download this and change this bit in the configuration
Now I download THAT awesome library that goes with that awesome snippet that needs 13 other libraries.
ARRRRGGGGH!!!! All wanted was a screen with 10 fucking buttons each attached to a fucking handler that does some simple shit.
This is why women don't go into computing anymore. They refuse to masturbate to stupid shit like this ... complexity ain't computation boys!
I would like to see more people recording themselves coding, then going back over top of it and commentating explaining what their were doing, perhaps with a "co-caster"/reviewer.

Basically it just feeds into my being lazy ;)

I think the approach is clean, nicely composable, and directly usable. Well done Chris.
