The subject of the thread is Simple Things Should Be Simple. Others in this thread have done a good job attempting to explain that they are in fact simple so I won't continue. Perhaps you should play around with ring and/or Compojure a bit and learn yourself. This is something you would have to do for any serious evaluation anyway. I will answer your specific question about deploying applications. While creating a war file may involve some of what you conceive to be boilerplate, it does so to simplify deployment of multiple applications to a single server; which is exactly what you're now asking about. Download jetty, copy a war into the webapps directory and start the server. Done. Don't like Jetty for some reason? Download tomcat, copy the war to the webapps directory, start server. Done. Want another app in that server, just copy the war into webapps. It's the same with the scripts really. You think project.clj, lein, a main class and running java -jar myapp.jar is silly when you can just gcc myapp.c and run it with myapp. Sure, but that only works on a single platform. The java -jar will work anywhere. Like I said, you might think some things are boilerplate or unnecessary, but they're done that way to provide benefits that are beyond simplicity. Best of luck to you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
