New SCI version dropped which now supports async/await in CLJS!
And new #nbbcljs dropped which uses the newest SCI. Demo:
$ npx nbb@1.4.206
Welcome to nbb v1.4.206!
user=> (defn ^:async foo [] (let [x (await (js/Promise.resolve 1))] (inc x)))
#'user/foo
user=> (foo)
#<Promise 2>
Seems like I'll be doing a lighting talk at DCD: Bringing async/await from Squint to ClojureScript!
(Perhaps a full talk later in the year somewhere else?)
@eclectech I've done some animation of SVG using JavaScript and later #ClojureScript (for interactive electricity grid display diagrams). The technique works but it's very geeky and pretty niche.
(The original diagrams were drawn using Inkscape, and we created a palette of active components you could add into Inkscape drawings)
There's a demo here which shows the concept:

Unless you're comfortable with writing software this is not the right technique for you.
If you want to try out my CLJS with async/await support + core.async based on async/await instead of state machine (probably better perf and less bundle size):
org.clojure/clojurescript {:git/url "https://github.com/borkdude/clojurescript"
:git/sha "2ecd2ebd8b79a5ad04c568bc348b4881ddedb4d7"}
org.clojure/core.async {:git/url "https://github.com/borkdude/core.async"
:git/sha "dc9650c0205dca6c0af1b41f198c0fd3226e6f15"}
Please give it a spin! :)
core.async go macro rewritten using async/await (WIP)
@rony 馃憢 I've found following the tags themselves has been helpful and then following individual people posting or boosting interesting things. #lisp #CommonLisp #Clojure #Clojurescript #emacs are good ones.
I'm not sure about the culture of sharing accounts directly, so I'm abstaining from that for now.
borkdude reviewing the borkiverse (bb, clj-kondo, scittle... ) and more
Progress: got cljs.test async working with async/await too.
Spent an hour looking into adding async/await support to CLJS. Turns out it's not so difficult. I'm sure there's a few edge cases to iron out, but doable.

Thanks to all users, contributors and sponsors!
Happy new year!

I just realized ClojureScript has no support for rational numbers 馃様
I am spoiled: I got so used to everything "just working" in #ClojureScript that it didn't even occur to me that it might not have exact rational arithmetic like #Clojure.

This is really a delightful trick from @swannodette@mas.to. Instant #clojurescript repl for exploration. No project, no ShadowCLJS, etc.
It's some kind of "tiny" magic to import your own web component and use it together with others in a web project. Just include the JS file and add the html tag. (in my case [:my-component] bc #Clojurescript). That's the way! #webdev
A mashup between reagami and webcomponents. I don't know why you would do this, but you can!
Minigraph progress: multiple selection and drag selection. https://github.com/apossiblespace/minigraph #clojure #clojurescript
pr-str, prn, etc now print EDN instead of JSON in squint, as you can see in this beautiful draggable button demo
