IBM Cloud Computing News - Use Clojure to write OpenWhisk actions, Part 1: Write clear, concise code for

[IT News Bot]

In this tutorial, you learn how to use Clojure, a functional programming
language that's based on Lisp, to create actions for OpenWhisk. Such actions
can be clearer and more concise than those written in JavaScript. Functional
programming is a better paradigm for Function as a Service (FaaS) because it
encourages programming without reliance on side effects. By putting different
parts of the code in different actions, it becomes more modular and easier to
maintain.
