The closest thing to Lift in Clojure right now is probably Conjure: http://github.com/macourtney/Conjure
Tutorial on Conjure: http://wiki.github.com/macourtney/Conjure/hello-world-tutorial It's closer to Rails than Lift. I've looked at Lift and didn't see much advantage of it over a Rails like framework. Though, I didn't spend much time with it. > There are definitely some good ideas there - and I agree with most of > the goals.

There are no xml files or partial html template languages to learn for Conjure. Everything is written in Clojure. Html templates are like the templates used in Compojure. Configuration files are simply Clojure source files. This does have some disadvantages, but I think keeping everything in the same language will help far more than it will hurt. I've only tentatively looked at Seaside, but I will be looking into adding continuations to Conjure in future versions. Right now, we're working on getting the 0.4 version out the door. > Good question.

Conjure uses the following libraries, you may find some of them useful if you create your own framework: clj-html clj-record ring h2 (database) jetty -Matt P.S. We're looking for more contributors to Conjure.
