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.

Clojure best-practices warn against using macros when a function would do. It tends to complicate debugging and maintainability. However, macros are very powerful, and when they are the right tool for the job they can create magic and afford new ways of looking at a problem. On the other end of the spectrum, Racket[0] fully embraces the DSL-creating power of macros. To answer your question: I think that lisp's extensibility can be used to create something difficult to share/understand OR easier to share/understand [1]. Whereas some other languages might be limited by their ability to naturally express a domain-fitted solution, yet they make it easier to avoid creating a cryptic mess. So... lisps don't confuse people, people do. [0] - https://racket-lang.org/ [1] - a good example of macro use is Compojure's use of a macro for http route de
