A community-driven catalog of common Clojure and ClojureScript errors with explanations and solutions.
Clojure Error Message Catalog is a community-maintained repository that documents common errors in Clojure and ClojureScript ecosystems. It provides structured explanations, root causes, and solutions for errors to help developers debug more efficiently. The project aims to improve the overall developer experience by making error information more accessible and actionable.
Clojure and ClojureScript developers at all experience levels who encounter runtime or compilation errors and want to understand and resolve them quickly.
It offers a centralized, community-curated resource for error documentation that is more comprehensive and searchable than scattered forum posts. The structured format also enables potential integration with development tools and IDEs for contextual error suggestions.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Errors are submitted and maintained by the Clojure community through GitHub issues and pull requests, ensuring a diverse and real-world range of error scenarios.
Each error is documented in a markdown file with sections for exception, description, causes, and solutions, providing clear and consistent information for quick understanding.
The consistent format enables potential tooling integration, such as IDE suggestions or contextual search, as highlighted in the README for future enhancements.
Errors are organized into Clojure core, ClojureScript core, and library-specific errors, making it easy to navigate and find relevant documentation quickly.
The catalog's completeness depends on user submissions, so errors for less popular libraries or new issues may be missing or slow to be updated, limiting immediate usefulness.
While the format is machine-readable, there is no built-in IDE plugin or real-time integration yet; users must manually search GitHub, which can be inefficient for rapid debugging.
The planned web interface for browsing and searching is still in development, so the primary access is through GitHub, which may not be as user-friendly as a dedicated site.
