The thing is, I'm evaluating clojure - that's what drags clojure into
it. If I wasn't interested in using clojure, I'd never have asked the
question. Printing "hello world" is just a simple, well-understood
example application. There are *lots* of applications worth putting on
the web that aren't much more complicated than that. I chose it to
emphasis how much extra work the environment that clojure seems to be
inextricably linked with adds.

I thought I *gave* you all those things to work with when I said "not
counting the web server and whatever else it needs to be ready to run
applications." Could you show me (or point me to an web page showing)
how I'd go from a simple .clj script to an application running on
Tomcat that's been installed and is ready to run applications? If
that's as simple as the apache/cgi example, I'll be very happy.
