Good points, puzzler. I'm in the last stages of getting an commerce site ready for production and my issues with getting authentication to work properly may force my company to switch to an inferior but easier to configure technology (i.e., abandon Clojure).
Sven Richter's friend-ui/closp work on auth/authz is quite good, but not there yet. Luminous is brilliant (pun intended) but the auth piece is not there yet. I've started a lib for payment gateway integration with authorize.net and there is a partly broken implementation of PayPal IPN (callback handling). I've got a nice JavaScript shopping cart -- a fork of SimpleCart(js) that is functional for most cases, with a Clojure parser for its terrible POST format (not yet released). Modularity, as Clojure's web libraries have been pursuing it, is a very good idea -- I've been able to choose among several options and put together an app like Legos. Alas, small differences in dependencies make some modules unable to work together. But I think the Leiningen template way is very effective. --Sven On Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 11:19:19 PM UTC-4, puzzler wrote: > > Last week, at the Clojure/West conference, someone (I think it was Brandon > Bloom) summed up the general vibe well, by saying something along the lines > of, "We now have all the pieces in place to make web development an order > of magnitude more productive than in any other language, we just need to > figure out how to put it all together and make that happen." > > I think that's right.
