Prasanna, Ryan and Justin, Hi. I just got around to playing with Caribou today. Very nice!
I was happy to see you including Immutant config in the application template, but you don't need it. Immutant will happily bootstrap a deployed app using the :ring options map in project.clj. As long as you're including that, the immutant.clj file in the application template is redundant. Here's more info: http://immutant.org/builds/LATEST/html-docs/initialization.html#initialization-porting And I agree removing the immutant dependency in project.clj will greatly reduce the number of downloaded jars. Technically, you only need that dependency in project.clj when running *outside* of the Immutant container, e.g. when your tests refer to the immutant namespaces. The only other Immutant-related feedback I might offer is wrt the assets dir, "app/". Relative paths like that are only gonna work if you start up Immutant in your project's directory, so in production you'll likely want that to be an absolute path. I especially like the project's name. It reminds me of the Pixies song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6m-pwWCDKU Thanks!
