From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 12, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
Compojure Compojure is a small routing library for Ring that allows web applications to be composed of small, independent parts. Installation Add the following dependency to your deps.edn file: compojure/compojure {:mvn/version "1.7.2"} Or to your Leiningen project file: [compojure "1.7.2"] Documentation Wiki API Docs Community Google Group #compojure on Freenode IRC Usage This small Compojure application demonstrates creating a Ring handler from two routes: (ns hello-world.core (:require [compojure.core :refer :all] [compojure.route :as route])) (defroutes app (GET "/" [] "<h1>Hello World</h1>") (route/not-found "<h1>Page not found</h1>")) Also refer to the Getting Started page on the wiki.

You're probably a verbal thinker, and English-like code matters a lot to you I guess. Probably lots of programmers are. For me, a mostly visual thinker that ends up building and visualizing a code tree in his head anyhow, Lisp is very readable because I can more clearly see the tree without all the noise. And when it comes to math, staying close to standard math notation is a clear winner, and this is why all lisps have ways of writing infix for formula-heavy code, stuff like http://data-sorcery.org/2010/05/14/infix-math/ and others. But lispers don't use them that much because they simply get used to the Lisp notation more. ...oh, and Common Lisp is NOT an example of readable Lisp. It's probably the most unreadable and obsfucation-friendly of them all :) Take a look at some Clojure code for something that's just as readable as Python aft
