Using rule engines for charts and poetry
summary
A Clojure charting pipeline reads external APIs into a rule session and produces live country dashboards—deployed 27 days after the pandemic—using Doyle rules and JSON ingestion. A Clojurescript rules engine drives React rendering for a todo list, a deck of affirmations, and a poetry editor that inserts prompts as facts, counts syllables in real time and supports multiple drafts. Starter code is open source and set up for GitHub Codespaces; key features include rules-as-queries and live syllable counts.
