This is really cool. Very easy to get up and running for first try. I have
a few questions on the architecture.
Why Immutant instead of plain ring as the default? I think the number of
dependencies could be much lower with it.
I know it's only alpha.. but I'm asking this on behalf of others who might
be thinking the same.
And, are there plans for NoSQL database support, like MongoDB, MapDB
(http://www.mapdb.org/ - I just found out about it myself but this is the
only decent in-memory NoSQL solution other than Berkeley DB)?

Hello Clojure,
Excited to announce today the release of Caribou! http://let-caribou.in/
We have been building web sites and web applications with it for over two
years now and improving it every day. Currently we have four people
working on it and another ten using it to build things, so it is getting a
lot of real world testing.
It has been designed as a collection of independent libraries that could
each be useful on their own, but which come together as a meaningful whole.
We have been spending the last couple months getting it ready for a full
open source release, and I am happy to say it is finally ready. Funded and
supported by Instrument in Portland, OR: http://weareinstrument.com/ We
have four projects using it in production, and several more about to be
launched (as well as over a dozen internal things).
Documentation is here: http://caribou.github.io/caribou/docs/outline.html
Source is here: http://github.com/caribou/caribou (use this for issues,
you don't actually need the source as it is installed through a lein
template).
Some of the independently useful libraries Caribou is built on are:
* Polaris -- Routing with data (not macros) and reverse routing! :
https://github.com/caribou/polaris
* Lichen -- Image resizing to and from s3 or on disk:
https://github.com/caribou/lichen
* Schmetterling -- Debugging Clojure processes from the browser:
https://github.com/prismofeverything/schmetterling
* Antlers -- Useful extensions to mustache templating (helpers and blocks,
among other things): https://github.com/caribou/antlers
* Groundhog -- Replay http requests:
https://github.com/noisesmith/groundhog
And many others.
Basically this is an Alpha release, and I am announcing it here first in
order to get as much feedback from the community as possible. We have made
it as useful as we can for our purposes and recognize that for it to
improve from here, we really need as many people using it and building
things with it as possible. The documentation also needs to be put through
its paces: we need to see how well people are able to use it who know
nothing about it, based only on the existing docs.
All feedback welcome!
Thanks for reading! I hope you find it useful.
