The controller/action viewpoint could as well be described as a hashmap of routes to functions, all of which accept an optional map of parameters, and all of which return an http response. For me at least, this makes for a clearer mental picture than 'personifying' the pattern with objects. > Me, I'm happy with the functional approach :) In complete agreement here :) Cheers, Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
