We've just published our first academic paper about Clerk, in case anyone's interested: https://twitter.com/jackrusher/status/1635434839968194561?s=20

That's a very nice overview of a very interesting approach to evolving the user interface of computing!

The markdown parsing returns a clojure data structure that can be further manipulated before it is rendered to markup. You also have all the normal lisp-y meta-programming stuff, so you can reflect and modify and compile as you like.

My interest is not so much to modify the rendering (though I see applications for that) as doing computations on the text. Something like a Clojure form that computes the number of words in the preceding paragraph. Or feeds it to GPT-4.

Our markdown library returns a tree that can be further processed. The API for doing what you describe is probably a bit opaque atm tho, so I should fix that! 🙂

just yesterday watched your talk at Strangeloop 2022, it was amazing
