Miscellaneous

Though I'm sad to see you've moved on from Clojure - thank you so much for the geom libraries! They're very minimal (not bloating my executable like some other libraries) and are a real pleasure to work with and extend. Diving into other people's codebases is usually quite challenging - but geom makes it almost painless :)

My application is not very fancy. I'm simply generated SVG hiccup for some plots. The hiccup is then converted to cljfx components that are then rendered directly in JavaFX (thereby skipping all SVG rendering with Batik/SalamanderSVG)

I'm hoping to add a geom -> svg-hiccup -> cljfx -> JavaFX Canvas converter in the future - per the cljfx author's suggestion : cljfx/cljfx#67 (comment) The SVG-hiccup has turned out to be a very flexible intermediary. Easy to modify and convert
