(cons (clojure graphql))

Graphqls' declarative schemas and stringified strong typing cons* together perfectly with Clojure's dynamic typing, homoiconicity**, and easy concurrency.

We will take our first steps into the Clojure ecosystem and how it can work closely with Graphql. We will show how to create a simple Clojure app, how to read a LISP, how to understand de-structuring, and how to read an EDN, extensible data notation, file.

We will then dip our toes into Lacinia, the Graphql library from Walmart Labs. We will start with a simple query to our static resolver, and then rapidly add more information to the schema. If time allows, we will pull data from 2 separate sources, showcasing the easy of concurrency in Clojure.

  • cons is short for construct, a term dating to the late 50's for adding two items to a List
    • Homoiconicity, code as data, data is code.
