I Googled to see if there was a better page explaining Pedestal and didn’t find anything obvious. I did find this tho’: http://www.lispcast.com/what-web-framework-should-i-use "Pedestal… Though, I would caution you that it's not for a Clojure beginner. Pedestal introduces a lot of new concepts that even experienced Clojure programmers have to learn.The tutorial is long and arduous. You will have problems learning Pedestal without knowing Clojure." (Eric’s emphasis) Admittedly that is talking about the entire Pedestal stack, not just the back end portion that it has become now. Until recently, I didn’t know that Pedestal had split in two and had previously discounted it as "that complex full-stack thing" (much like ClojureScript One etc). Eric’s article has this note: "Update: Pedestal has changed dramatically since I last looked at it. It is no longer a frontend framework. It is now a high-performance backend server for high performance asynchronous processing. It's worth looking at if you need that. Otherwise, I stick with my recommendation to use basic Ring." (my emphasis) Anyone looking for an easy web framework to get up and running with is likely to think the same thing.
