I've written a few small web apps. > 2. Which libraries or frameworks are you using? Which versions? ring and compojure > 3. What made you choose Clojure to develop web applications in? What > are the strengths of Clojure web development? Im inexperienced enough to not know better :D I've been coding seriously for about 2 and a half years, most of that using different lisps(i got to scheme really early in my endeavor for programming knowledge), im sold on the whole functional programming and lisp thing. I didn't have to unlearn too much to figure it out, just a bit of python. So, since clojure is my favorite language *at the moment*, its natural to try and write stuff in it, and web development seems as good as any place to start. > 4. What do you think are the current weaknesses of web development in > Clojure? What could be improved? Im not very experienced in web development to say for sure. I've written a blog in django, and thats all my web experience. So my first problem was figuring out how to write web apps in general. I think clojure is a lousy first web language at the moment. Rings docs kind of assume you already know what you are doing. I had to figure everything out for myself, i read all the source so i can figure it out, and i still have trouble with it. I'd say that ring/compojure could use a comprehensive tutorial with lots of examples and tips. > 5. Anything else you want to comment on? I love hiccup, ever since i first saw a web app written in a lisp using s-expressions to generate html, i've been in love with the idea. Also as someone already pointed out in the "State of Clojure" survey, Rich really does have awesome hair :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
