Hi, author of closp (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sveri&#x2F;closp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sveri&#x2F;closp</a>).<p>TLDR; Yes, clojure is behind in regards of web development, but it is not as bad as you said. There is active work done in this area.<p>I totally agree with what you said. It is a general understanding in the clojure community that you compose libraries to get things done.
However, for web development that still means a lot of repitition, thats why I created the closp template.<p>It is based on luminus (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.luminusweb.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.luminusweb.net&#x2F;</a>) which is a lighter &quot;framework&quot; with more options.<p>My idea was to provide one way with sensible defaults to get started in doing web stuff in clojure.<p>I still work regularly on it and would be happy about contributions &#x2F; feature requests. Whereas regularly means in terms of months as I do this all in my spare time.<p>Also I am quite active in the clojure community and I know that luminus is not shunned, but instead it also receives improvements and releases regularly. Also the author of luminus works professionally with clojure and with luminus.<p>And I have to admit, that luminus has the far superior documentation, he has done a good job on it I think.
