Ep 068: Static on the Line

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 feedback@clojuredesign.club, or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Serving static assets." We tease apart the layers involved in serving static assets and are surprised by how many we find.

Selected quotes:

• "You'd think that serving up plain old files would be nice and simple."
• "MIME types are an explosion of complexity."
• "Simplicity is the only remedy for complexity. Abstraction is not a remedy for complexity."
