I'd like to say that as a Clojure programmer I really like the current page. The reference documentation is an excellent resource. It does not answer all questions, but it answers the most critical ones very concisely and I hope that you intend to keep it like that. If one thing about the

Expanding on the content idea for new-comers *to Clojure*, like me, (but not necessarily to programming in general), I've found the approachs taken by Living Clojure and PurelyFunctional.tv to be really helpful. Both Carin Meier and Eric Normand (for example) take a relatively shallow angle of

Yes, all of the instructions point you to a stable build of JBake 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT. There is, in particular, a fix coming in 2.5.0 that allows us to output files with no extension so that urls look like http://clojure.org/reader instead of http://clojure.org/reader.html. When 2.5 is released,

All set here! Just to point out that the site generation didn't work with JBake v2.4.0 (latest stable). So, if you already use JBake, you will have to upgrade it to v2.5.0-SNAPSHOT, as suggested in the README file. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 5:38 AM, Dmitri wrote: > Just

I don’t know how feasible that is as a tool lives in a much smaller space than everything you can do with that tool. “programming through Clojure” feels a bit like teaching Carpentry through examine a hammer… On the other hand, do I think the Clojure community have some excellent ideas on how

That's a great initiative! Thanks! But I'm just sad to see JBake instead of Cryogen (https://github.com/cryogen-project/cryogen-core) which is written in Clojure :-( Can we send a pull request replacing JBake by Cryogen or is JBake a final decision? On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 4:14 PM, Alex Miller

Hi Hildeberto, I built spikes of the site in a number of technologies like Cryogen, Stasis, Sphinx, Asciidoctor, and some of the other Ruby-based static generators as well. In the end, I found that JBake was the best match for our goals at this time. The site build architecture has been

Just a note that the author of Cryogen is very responsive regarding discussions on improvements and pull requests for additional functionality. If there's a particular feature that's missing it might be worth creating an issue or opening a pr for it. On Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 10:57:45
