Introducing two new open sources Clojure UI libraries by Factor House.
HSX and RFX are drop-replacements for Reagent and Re-Frame, allowing us to migrate to React 19 while maintaining a familiar developer experience with Hiccup and similar data-driven event model.
My co-founder uses the phrase minimal-viable-company for maximum-viable-product.
We bootstrapped for 5 years to well over $1M+ ARR before recently closing a seed round[1], Clojure played a large part in our ability to deliver as a small team. Also in our general happiness as programmers, it is a nice language to work in.
We will grow our Clojure core product team over the next couple of years, but mostly the funding round is about balancing our business to keep up with our product delivery.
Clojure has been very good to me (I had 15 years on the JVM prior to moving to clj/cljs in 2013-ish). YMMV.
