What is [meta]?

[meta] is a stack for building software using Clojure(Script).

Why [meta]?

We built [meta] out of the idea that a single Open Source package could be used to build any tech startup. We named it [meta] as a reminder that software takes many forms and like ideas, should continuously evolve. [meta] is an attempt at building the quickest path from an idea to a startup.

Things [meta] has been used for:

  • Application Prototyping
  • Enterprise Applications

When should I use [meta]?

Always.

[meta] Internals

[meta] is written in Clojure(Script) and built using:

  • Boot - Build tooling for Clojure.
  • Hoplon - ClojureScript Web Framework.
  • Feathers.js - An open source REST and realtime API layer for modern applications.
  • Node.js - JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
  • Electron - Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
  • Atom - A hackable text editor for the 21st Century.

Using [meta] ... with Boot Boot Wiki

[meta] is powered by Boot, an environment for building applications using clojure.

Generate an empty project:

$ boot -d degree9/meta project --generate

Start a development workflow:

$ boot project --develop

Thanks to Boot, [meta] is built with itself.

  • boot-exec - Boot-clj external process execution using Apache Commons Exec.
  • boot-semver - Semantic Versioning for boot projects.
  • boot-semgit - Semantic Git access from boot tasks.
  • boot-welcome - ASCII art banners with boot-clj.

ClojureScript in the Browser ... with Hoplon Hoplon

We believe in building universal technologies and the web is the most accessible platform available. [meta] builds upon Hoplon to provide abstractions for the DOM.

Feathers.js Logo

Realtime Communication ... with Feathers.js Feathers

[meta] provides both REST and Realtime communication via FeatherScript, a wrapper around Feathers.js implemented in ClojureScript. Feathers enables event-based communication between clients and servers and other API's including persistent data stores.

Node.js Logo

ClojureScript on the Server ... with Node.js Node

[meta] is built entirely out of Clojure(Script) including the backend. This means compiling to JavaScript and running on Node.js.

  • boot-nodejs - Node.js tasks for boot-clj.
  • boot-npm - Node Package Manager (NPM) wrapper task for boot-clj.
  • nodejs-cljs - CLJS bindings for the Node.js API.
