Thanks for the nice words about Bidi (https://github.com/juxt/bidi). For the record, Bidi now supports ClojureScript too.
btw. The reason for matching on the path (rather than allowing matches on the query-string) is intentional, since I think that encourages a more RESTful architecture. However, it's possible to extend the Pattern protocol to match on anything in the request, should that be needed.
