Hello, thoughts about the Clojurish web stack have been bouncing around in my head for a while now. In recent months, I've noticed an uptick in conversations about the same. Maybe it's recency bias. Maybe not. The "boring business web app" is where the money is, after all.
I wonder if people would like to put heads together to come up with *something* general-purpose that helps people understand + construct + apply web things built by community members over the years. Personally, I'm not convinced that a One True Framework is the solution. However there might be opportunity to out-framework all the framework-heavy communities by making a way to construct one's own framework. The "constructor" might spit out a "standard recipe" that could be: "Ring + Compojure" or "Ring + Reitit" or "Kit" or "Duct" or "Sitefox" or "Donut" or "Pedestal" if the user feeds in well-specified requirements that match one or more of said framework/library collection. Or, it might run us through a decision tree to incrementally expand requirements into a project on disk (a clj-new template, but created incrementally). AND, as m'colleague Kapil insists (and I agree) it should be a "full system" system... have us covered from parts assembly to production deployments. /Explanations/ would be a key feature of such a constructor; Why this and not that? How to wire X and Y together? What are some example use cases? The explanations would be sourced from source repos. Basically, this thing would respect and support the diversity and inventiveness of the Clojure web ecosystem /while making it accessible/ to the masses. The innovation is distributed, but the composition is centralised. This sort of thing is definitely in userspace and not language maintainerspace. IMHO, SciCloj is a great example of a special interest group that's doing yeoman service. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but I'm sure smarter people that I have struggled enough to have had ideas of their own and if they come together, they might conjure up a very creative solution. What I *am* confident about, is that this is a *complicated* task, but not a complex one. Anyway, I just wanted to put this out into the clojureverse and see what happens.
