By watching this video, I realized there is no sense writing frameworks in Clojure. Not because the video says so, but because the approach of using libraries to compose solutions makes a lot more sense. Django and Rails are examples of easy technologies, while Clojure and its libraries are an example of simple. You will also understand Sean when he said that Clojure "doesn't need to be the solution for low-level problems". Do you actually program in Clojure? Have you experienced web development in Clojure? I'm asking that because my personal experience was actually good. I'm happier writing Clojure web apps adding libraries on demand instead of having a huge piece of software with a lot of things that I don't use at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
