Hi James! :) > 1. Have you written, or are you writing, a web application that uses > Clojure? What does it do? I've written one very simple "internal organsiation" site in clojure that's finished except for a few little bugs. Should be cleared next monday. > 2. Which libraries or frameworks are you using? Which versions? compojure in whatever was the last release version - with a few lines of patches. joda-time 1.6 - which should be mandatory for any java/clojure project dealing with time in any way and lucene 3.0.1 > 3. What made you choose Clojure to develop web applications in? I hate typing any more than is needed. This means a Lisp variant. Clojure is just the best Lisp I know to program in, and the JVM is a bonus if you need it. > What are the strengths of Clojure web development? See the previous question. Plus "pure" functional programming meshes well with typical Front end - Controller - Database web programming. > 4. What do you think are the current weaknesses of web development in > Clojure? What could be improved? Not sure. Will get back on this. I will say that anyone claiming to have a full integrated solution in clojure right now is probably wrong. And I'm not sure we need an integrated system at all. Which is why I like compojure splitting up into real composable parts. > 5. Anything else you want to comment on? Stick with relational databases unless you really need to get rid of them. Don't think of the previous sentence as an excuse to squeeze/enforce an OO/relational mapping in whatever web framework you're thinking of writing. I'm doing fine without one, thank you very much.
