I think we have some similar and overlapping concepts, including reducing a template to an executable function.
I think there's a difference in composition, as Cascade has the concept of reusable fragments that take parameters. I also have a lot of ideas for control structures related to rendering and action request processing that haven't been realized in the existing code. Finally, I'm looking forward to (at least experimenting with) parallel rendering across fragments. The idea of hitting the database with N requests across N threads in parallel and assembling the result speedily is very promising. I'm not building Cascade to replace Tapestry, but to really learn the ins and outs of Clojure in a domain I really understand. 2009/6/28 Michael Böckling <michael.boeckl...@googlemail.com> > > Hi Howard, > > I'd be interested to know what you think of Enlive (http:// > wiki.github.com/cgrand/enlive/). > On first sight it looks like pure genius, and the philosophy reminds > me of Tapestry5.
