Clojure needs a Rails
Since it keeps coming up, I&#x27;d like to clarify that I&#x27;m not advocating for a port of Rails or some kind of analog. I should have chosen a better post title.<p>I have never used Rails.<p>I&#x27;m arguing Clojure has missing or rotting libraries, requiring us to re-implement logic we&#x27;ve all done at least once because people are fixated building web frameworks, and I think it&#x27;s motivated by people trying to build the Rails for Clojure. I really can&#x27;t think of any other reason for people to build so many web frameworks at this point.<p>The Rails for Clojure is an idea, one the community rallies around, one where people won&#x27;t reinvent the wheel over and over again, so that we can have a lot more non-web packages for Clojure.<p>I&#x27;m quite literally saying, the effort could be better spent elsewhere.
