A purely functional approach to UI composition with ES6/TypeScript Update 2019: Take a deeper look at this and related projects in this ongoing blog series: Of umbrellas, transducers, reactive streams & mushrooms… The ease of turning nouns into verbs is an almost unmatched feature of the English language and it’s…

ClojureScript users have had the great fortune of gaining access to CSP-type concurrency ever since the announcement of the core.async library a few years ago. And whereas core.async with its channel based philosophy gives us many powerful and deeply transformative abstractions to better structure our code, in many cases it’s…

2-day introduction to fundamental generative design techniques Without wanting to sound generalizing, my impression sometimes is that for some coders, generative design is often still relegated as only lightweight application (and skills) of programming to create fancy imagery. In the traditional designer’s camp, generative design is often still looked upon…

The majority of Clojurescript application development and community discussions seems to be focused on improving standard UI implementation patterns and the general workflow of how we can build web applications better, easier and faster. In this respect it’s been truly amazing to observe how much has been achieved in so…

A journey into Genetic Programming techniques with Clojure and thi.ng Over the years, generative techniques like Cellular Automata, Diffusion-limited Aggregation, Self-organization, Reaction-Diffusion, Genetic Algorithms etc. have been playing a key role in my work and I more or less successfully managed to use them for creating form & music. For…
