Hot Reload for JavaScript- It's Pretty Hot
What the Heck is Clojure?
Why Clojure's Hot Reload Is Scorching-Lava-Hot-As-The-Sun Hot!
Should We All Switch to ClojureScript?
What Do You Think?
Are you a JavaScript developer interested (or not) in ClojureScript? I want to hear from you too! :)

Update - 11-/17/16I'm glad to say that the state of JavaScript web development has indeed improved, and we now have magical tools akin to figwheel for Angular and React projects! The term that's commonly used in the JavaScript world is, "Hot Module Replacement". On changes, your modules are just "replaced", and no page load occurs. Awesome! I'm exactly sure how it works under the hood, but it seems that something about the Webpack file bundler is also making this possible. For Angular 2, definitely check out this Angular2-Webpack-Starter project which has this hot module replacement feature integrated. For React, definitely check out React Production Starter, React-Redux-universal-Hot, or React-Redux-Starter-Kit! |
