Because, in my case, I'm going to need a website shortly that I can use to sell Cursive. I'd really like to use Clojure for that. I could use Rails or Django which would make the site itself trivial, except I don't know either of them and then I'm stuck maintaining something in a language and framework I have no interest in and don't understand how to deploy or maintain. Or I could do it in Clojure which means that I understand the libraries, frameworks, deployment and monitoring inside and out, except I now have to implement a shopping cart and integrations with payments gateways etc. Neither of these are great options for me.
