My first thought is: don't bother compiling the code, just run it "live" from source (and maybe provide a way to easily reload the templates (such as a URL parameter).
What I've done in my FW/1 framework (convention-based MVC, built on Ring and Enlive) is to have a mode that auto-reloads templates on every request (a development mode) or you can just specify a URL parameter to force the templates to be reloaded. If you're interested in looking at FW/1 for Clojure (it's a port of a seasoned and very popular CFML framework that I originally created back in 2009), the repo is: https://github.com/seancorfield/fw1-clj There's a FW/1 Leiningen template so it should be as simple as: * lein new fw1 myapp * cd myapp * lein run Then just edit controllers (and add a separate model if you want), edit your views, and add ?reload=secret to the URL to force a reload. For more background, the original CFML version is here: https://github.com/seancorfield/fw1 with some overview information here: http://fw1.riaforge.org (including mailing list link).
