Web RPC for Clojure + Clojurescript.
Extremely early access. Currently being spun out from internal projects at Teknql.
APIs likely to change (sometimes drastically) and documentation not yet written.
Use at your own risk.
Plasma provides a DSL to define isomorphic RPC endpoints that feel familiar to defn functions. It
abstracts away the need for explicit routing, serialization, session management, or resource
management. In clojure, the defined endpoints compile away into functions, making them easy to test.
On the clojurescript side they compile away into promises or streams which communicate over
websockets.
Many of the complexities in modern web development revolve around routing, serialization, session state management and resource cleanup. Frequently these systems are built from the ground-up per application and often feel like the "thar be dragons" part of the code base - lacking functionality and fragily hacked together. Plasma aims to provide ergonomic and complete APIs for these fundemental needs so that developers can spend more time building their product and less time reinventing the wheel.
Plasma is in early alpha. It was spun out of yet another iteration of solving this problem in an internal application. Any community feedback is widely appreciated, we're interested in making Plasma as useful and as flexible as possible.
