I think what Clojure needs is a default. It doesn't matter if it is a "web framework" like Rails, or "libraries strung together" like Luminus.
When a Ruby newbie asks how to make a web app, the default answer is to look at Rails. In Python, the default answer is Django. Compared to that, the default answer in Clojure to do it yourself can sound like "go jump off a cliff". = Eric MacAdie On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 7:09 AM, Sean Johnson <belu...@acm.org> wrote: > > > On Monday, May 4, 2015 at 4:41:02 AM UTC-4, Sven Richter wrote: > > All in all this is basically the direction I want to go with closp and >> closp-crud.
