ANN: Leiningen project template for creating a Node-Webkit Clojurescript app

[Frank Hale]

I created a Leiningen project template for creating a Node-Webkit Clojurescript application today.

For those that may not know, Leiningen is a Clojure build tool for maintaining Clojure / Clojurescript projects.

Leiningen can be found here:

http://leiningen.org/

This template creates the basic structure for a Node-Webkit app that uses Clojurescript as it's development language. It does make one assumption and that is it provides jQuery and jayq (the jQuery wrapper library for Clojurescript). Beyond that it doesn't make any other assumptions. It does provide a small bit of Clojurescript code which outputs a message when the application is ran.

The project template can be found here:

This is still early on and I have not uploaded it to Clojars yet but this can be used easily with manually installing using: lein install

If you have any suggestions for making the template better please let me know. The README absolutely can be improved especially for those wanting to try Clojurescript and Node-Webkit out but have not taken the plunge due to learning curve.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
