clojure-software-builder

A LLM Coding Tool designed for the Clojure programming language.

Project Rationale

Software development is changing rapidly. LLM based coding agents can be an effective method for developing software.

The Clojure language is position to take advange of this change. Using the Clojure programming language allows for you to build small, focused, immutabled and well tested software applications.

Additionally, there is some edivnce that Clojure is one of the most Concise languages for encoding in LLM style tokenization. See this blog post for mode details.

The mainstream LLM companies are focusing on the most commonly used languages. This makes sense, they have limited resources and need to focus on their business.

As Clojure engineerins, we want to Clojure to be releveant in the age of LLM develop systems. This project is an attempt to do that and highlight Clojure's strengths in a LLM driven world.

Design Rationale

Clojure-software-builder is an HTML application built using datastar and a Clojure/Dataelvin backend. It is designed to boardly follow common Clojure development practices in order to make it easier to contribute.

We use the TypedClojure dialect of the Clojure programming language.

Type-check

Type checking is enforced via our test system. Each namespace in src should have a corresponding namespace in the test folder. That test namespace should always use TypedClojure to validate the namespace.

Like the following

(ns csb.main-test
  (:require
   [typed.clojure :as t]
   [csb.main]
   [clojure.test :refer [deftest is testing]]))

(deftest type-check
  (testing "checking-types-main"
    (is (t/check-ns-clj 'csb.main))))
