avid Nolen has a great tutorial for enlive[6] that i would encourage anyone looking at these libs to work through. Enlive is one of the most compelling aspects of the clojure web ecosystem at present. These libraries provide the core pieces you would expect to see in any web framework, but a lot of the smaller details are missing. Of note there is no ORM for clojure (for obvious reasons) - If you are looking for a good SQL abstraction you should look at ClojureQL[7] - and aspects such as form generation, validation and processing is still in early days. My day job has me building web apps with Django. I wouldnt suggest that my coworkers and I jump to clojure / ring et al yet. The breadth of libraries and out of the box stuff in django is still a huge advantage for the day to day rapid web site / web app development, however clojure's story is improving rapidly and i think that the functional model is a particularly good fit for web applications. I cannot compare clojure's story with the other languages and frameworks mentioned. [1] https://github.com/mmcgrana/ring/ [2] This is true of compojure 0.4 and newer. compojure existed prior to ring (with hiccup as part of it). [3] https://github.com/cgrand/moustache [4] https://github.com/cgrand/enlive [5] https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup [6] There is a link in the enlive readme [7] https://github.com/LauJensen/clojureql/

et to start it up with the default JVM profile. the -server profile fixes the trigger issues Aside from that, I have an nginx gateway server that handles serving my media, nowww redirection and proxies all dynamic requests through to the jvm. the site itself hosts a jetty HTTP server via ring to handle all the requests. The 'hardest' part of getting started with clojure vs say Python+Django or Ruby+Rails is that there is a lack of 'get you going' magic / tools like scaffolds or djangos admin. Once you get past that though, it is a very enjoyable platform inspite of the API changes.
