You assume the presence of a configured web server but not a text editor ?
The only constructive thing I can say is that the set of things that may be
considered simple in the clojure setup above is vastly greater than the
alternative you present.  If the cost is a 4 line 'boilerplate' (and I'm
pointedly not going to compare that to /etc/apache/conf.d) I think its a low
price.
