[ANN] Garden 1.0.0 released

[Joel Holdbrooks]

After nearly a month and a half of work, I'm extremely excited to finally announce the release of Garden 1.0.0! 

This new release contains several important bug fixes, new features, and of course breaking changes. Please be sure to see the ChangeLog for what has changed since the last release. This is critical for people who want to upgrade as there are some syntax changes and namespaces which are no longer included.

In a nutshell the new version has:

• full ClojureScript support
• built-in @keyframes support
• the garden.core/css function (previously was a macro)
• the garden.core/style function for inline styling of HTML
• new compiler settings
• configurable automatic vendor prefixing

A huge thank you goes out to Julien Eluard for making ClojureScript support a success. Also, I want to thank Rob Jens for spotting bugs and writing stylesheets with Garden against the development version. Without this kind of support, I don't think I'd be as happy as I am today.

As always, I'm interested in hearing new ideas and getting feedback from the community.

Sincerely,

Joel

Nice Joel! Thanks for making css a function.  

I suggest that others check this library out. It is a very compelling clojure alternative to SASS/LESS.

Thanks James! The only thing I think is missing now are solid libraries (or ports of).

With ClojureScript support there are some interesting applications/possibilities on the client side that I'm just beginning to explore. I would definitely be interested to see what people discover in that space.

Unfortunately, I think it will be a while before others (Sass/Less users) see the benefits and potential of this approach to stylesheet programming. For that it would likely need some mentions from CSS thought leaders and, again, librarie.

FWIW, team Simonides used Garden for our app in the Clojure Cup. We didn't do anything advanced but it spared us one less language!

Joel
