The hard coded web server is not meant to be general solution at all. It just gets you a usable browser REPL with minimal hassle. Making ClojureScript depend on Ring makes little sense to me, but seems fine for an alternative browser REPL implementations. Though of course I think it's preferable that people simple fix the one that ships w/ ClojureScript since then a much larger group of people benefit out of the box.
