That was kind of my point. I would expect these kinds of questions, examples, and objections from someone looking at Clojure/Ring to teach with, not necessarily someone who want to deploy highly scalable web applications. I'm sure many here would disagree with me, but I would not recommend Clojure for a college level Lisp course just yet. I would probably recommend Racket or Dr. Scheme.
