As of the latest version of the Clojure CLI Tools, the command we run the app with was clj -A:dev but you SHOULD NOW USE clj -M:dev instead

Thank you so much for doing this. It is crazy that Clojure / Clojurescript is so powerful but the onboarding is so poor. A bunch of videos like this really help out those who are interested.

When you said " One last thing I want to show you ", instead of the --view command, I expected/hoped for an introduction to figwheel.
Thanks for this, great back to basics tutorial.

You're a very good teacher. Thanks

Well mate, I have a strong background with PHP / NodeJS ... (10years as Full Stack Development) but I always feel empty about those languages... then my friend suggests that I should go with Clojure. At an early stage! just () '() things impressed me.

Do you have more videos about getting started with Clojure? Your method of explaining things is the real deal! I would like to hear more from you!

Greetings!

Thanks for the video--great stuff. I have a fair amount of Clojure knowledge but always struggle setting up a cljs project. The idea of doing the minimum and fixing it bit by bit is really helpful.

Less helpful is the way the Clojure CLI tools seem to have changed every time I come back to Clojure! What worked for me was:
clj -M -m cljs.main --compile app --repl
instead of:
clj --main cljs.main --compile app --repl

and:
clj -M -m cljs.main --watch src --compile app --repl
instead of:
clj -M cljs.main --watch --compile app --repl

thanks for this, extremely high quality

Really nice short and to the point --- But please use bigger font for your editor, so a little easier to follow what code you type.

If you are watching this video on Windows computer, the process is different. The steps are different from the point where deps.edn file is created for Mac users only.

Fantastic thank you!
Question: the initial setup outputs a message saying, "WARNING: Implicit use of clojure.main with options is deprecated, use -M instead. What is this and how would it be used correctly now?

Thanks for the intro, what about shadow?

Is it me or that seems a really dump language compared to JavaScript ? It's the first video that I see about ClojureScript which I don't know that existed.
