I think it's a good idea in principle to have a common functional way
of accessing servlets. However, I notice there's still some wheel
reinventing going on. The HttpServlet API provides methods for
parameters, cookies and sessions, but these are absent from Ring. I
notice that in your weld framework, you implement these pieces of
functionality in Clojure, but why? I can understand keeping a low-
level interface lightweight, but Ring appears to be lightweight than
the Servlet API it's based upon.

Other than that, I generally like what I see in Ring. It uses Clojure
data structures, is functional, and is refreshingly explicit.
