liberator

Sort of. Java interop is an extra win for Clojure, but I really meant just the Clojure libraries. Every time I need one, it seems much more feature-complete than CL alternative. To take an example: in a project I'm working on, we're using Ring[0] at the backend + bunch of middleware, including Liberator[1]. Take a look at e.g. Liberator docs[2] and tell me, where's a CL library for just that, with so much thought that went into it? Or, in a CL project we had to implement CORS handling ourselves, whereas in Clojure we get it for free. Etc. This kind of story seems to repeat every time I need a library. In Common Lisp, you have to hope that Edi Weitz, Shinmera or Fukamachi wrote something, and that you won't have to patch much to make it work for you. In Clojure, everything I've seen so far[3] makes me expect to find solid and feature-compl

They don't have the level of adoption but if your concern is automating best practices then you may be interested in Webmachine[0] (Erlang) or one of it's descendants like Liberator[1] (Clojure). [0]: https://github.com/Webmachine/webmachine [1]: https://github.com/clojure-liberator/liberator

I won't bother to repeat here the entire comment I left on the blog post, but I would be interested to know if others in the HN crowd have been working with the liberator[1] library (i.e. as a way to augment ring/compojure) and to hear about their experiences with it. I've found liberator quite helpful, and have been hoping to see it get a bit more exposure and wider involvement from the Clojure community. [1] https://github.com/clojure-liberator/liberator
