Thanks for the step through and suggestions. I've got lein and I've gotten through that to run a repl in emacs for the clojurescriptone project. I'll go ahead and go through webnoir and korma as you recommend. I've read up some on korma but I've only heard a bit of webnoir in passing. I think

I think the big problem, is that Clojure makes a big deal about being Simple. That is, avoiding unneeded complexity, but then throws its users into the sea of complexity that is Java. The choice to build on Java definitely takes us away from simplicity, but we gain a lot of power and

This will sound obvious to a lot of people, but just this week I had a real aha moment. It's awesome to be using a lisp in the Java ecosystem. There's a Java library for just about anything and not a half-finished library somebody hacked together for their own needs, but an
