Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Checking websocket health." We worry about the health of our websockets and, after looking for help from the standards bodies, roll up our sleeves and handle it ourselves.

Selected quotes:

"It's the ghosting in the websocket world."
"With polling, every request is a fresh opportunity to recover from the last request's errors."
"Long polling is just beating the server up at a slower rate."
"By giving your code names with meaning, you can read the code that uses it and comprehend it faster."
"Complexity costs, and you pay in time and confusion."
