We examine our history writing web handlers and talk about all the ways we've broken them.
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 [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.
This week, the topic is: "Request handler pitfalls." We examine our history writing web handlers and talk about all the ways we've broken them.
Selected quotes:
"Doing a pitfalls episode is easy, because you just need to look at your scars."
"Letting exceptions escape is TMI for the web."
"Multiple error handling middleware is ok. They're in place, just in case."
"Smaller doesn't necessarily mean simpler."
"A little bit of repetition can lead to a lot of clarity."
"Java can turn just about anything into a string."
