The Talk

Lots of great work has gone into making Clojure simple. Biff is my attempt to make web dev in Clojure easy. Biff is a batteries-included, full-stack web framework inspired by Firebase. It has comprehensive documentation, and it emphasizes decomposability: as your project grows, Biff doesn't get in the way (as often happens with frameworks).

I've been running my own startup on Biff since May. I'll give a quick overview of Biff and show how you can try it out for your next side project.
