2. What is Midjournal?
We are a new form of media company that
embrace long form journalism for Indonesia
middle-class.
Everyone can be a writer, but your writing will be
curated by our editor.

3. Midjournal A Year Ago

4. Midjournal Now
(in Production)
Read and Write

5. Midjournal Now
(in Development)
Read and Write
Sync
Read Only

6. Why Clojure?
Functional programming
Composable (No need full stack framework)
It’s Lisp
On top of JVM
Project automation with Leiningen
REPL

7. Clojure is Still Not For
Geniuses (Like Me)
(function argument argument and-argument whatever-argument)
That syntax above covers a solid 90% Clojure code. A few more things for writing
Clojure code are:
; a comment
‘a-symbol
:a-keyword
“a string”
[a vector]
{:a map}

8. Library in Our Clojure
Application
Compojure is a routing library
Enlive is a selector-based templating library
Midpress is our open-sourced library
Ring is HTTP server abstraction library

9. Let’s tear it down!

10. Compojure
It's a small HTTP routing library for Ring that allows web applications to be composed
of small, independent parts.
Sample routing:
(GET “/user/:id” [id]
(str “<h1>Hello ” id “</h1>”))
Compojure supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, PATCH, and HEAD.

11. Enlive
The magical templating library.
The HTML from front-end developer:
<h2 class="title">The Dummy Title</h2>
The Clojure code to transform the above HTML code:
(deftemplate tpl-home "home.html”
[home-data]
[:h2.title] (content (:title home-data)))
It will render on the front-end
<h2 class="title">The Title From Database</h2>

12. Midpress
Our open-sourced library for interacting with WordPress WP-API
(https://github.com/Midjournal/midpress)
Sample code:
(the-loop {:url "http://yourdomain.com/wp-json"})
It will transform JSON string from WP-API into Clojure's vector and map data structure

13. Ring
Handler
Request
Response
Middleware
Ring is a Clojure web applications library inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rac

14. How Do You Deploy The
Application?
