We sat down with Kalle Korhonen, CPO at Quuppa, to learn about his journey of introducing Clojure into a primarily Java-based enterprise system. Kalle shared how Quuppa, a Finnish company specializing in indoor positioning technology, uses Clojure to build and maintain its enterprise management system. Kalle walked us through their transition from Java to Clojure and ClojureScript, explaining how they manage distributed systems and hardware integration.
We discussed their experience with Clojure frameworks like Re-frame, Reagent, and Integrant and described what it takes to build a team of developers interested in working with Clojure. Throughout our conversation, Kalle shared insights about frontend and backend development challenges in a Clojure/ClojureScript environment and discussed practical aspects like IDE choices and build tools in day-to-day development.
