There is already a rails like Clojure web framework which has been around for a while called Conjure: https://github.com/macourtney/Conjure
Here is the wiki to get started: https://github.com/macourtney/Conjure/wiki The most recent release is out of date, but I have been working on an update. I've completed all of the new features of the update and now I'm running through tests and making sure the tutorial is still accurate. Unfortunately, I haven't had as much time to work on it as I would have liked recently. Though I'm using it at my work, not many others seem to be using it. Most people in the community prefer libraries over frameworks. I doubt you'll do much better with your own web framework if you don't somehow take that into account. After seeing a lot of interest in Drift (https://github.com/macourtney/drift) when I broke it out of Conjure into its own library, I broke Conjure into a group of libraries for the next release. If you do make your own web framework, you may want to use some parts of Conjure. -Matt On Friday, September 28, 2012 3:36:20 AM UTC-4, goracio wrote: > > Hi > So i'd like to point to the problem here.
