Clojurescript on Heroku

Question

I love writing Clojure webapps, however they have unacceptably long startup times when used on a platform such as Heroku. Has anybody tried using Clojurescript on the server side with Node for example? Does this improve startup time?

Answer 1

Yes, it improves it a lot, startup is instant as with nodejs, so give it a try.

This template should get you started (and the readme has a lot of useful information):

Answer 2

Bodil had an experimental Ring-inspired web server framework for ClojureScript on Node.js here:
