Ep 065: Stuck in the Middle

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Ring middleware." We find that the middle is a very good place to start when almost everything is composed functions.

Selected quotes:

• "It's all fun from Ring on up!"
• "I want to have more than one handler."
• "We want to build up different scenarios declaratively."
• "The way you compose functions together is by building a function that takes functions and returns functions."
