  I believe that he made a great work there, but it is still very low level material for a newbie, or at least he cannot sell it easy to a newbie (even more to me cause I don't have a CS background). I was just watching Noir in Clojure. This seems more rails oriented or at least the website is more appealing for a newbie. It looks that there is a little bit of that magic that rails seems to bring: "Make sure you have leiningen installed, that way we can use the lein-noir plugin to create a new noir project. Four commands later, your site is up and running." This sounds great for a newbie. You don't need to be one day to discover how to install.

  By Weitz website I just get to this. It seems interesting: http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/ http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/

    Yes, quicklisp is cool. I've used it and it makes package management much easier for my tasks. I think you are right that Clojure (and noir) is probably much newbie-friendly that Common Lisp (and hunchentoot). One aspect of the Clojure movement that I have been impressed by is that the community is open and friendly and easy to find. I am putting more of my own time and effort into Clojure because: 1 - it runs on the JVM, so it is easier for me to sneak into my workplace than asking sys admins to install SBCL on production machines. 2 - DSLs that make me more productive (Noir, Cascalog) 3 - Books. There are several new and well-written books available on Clojure.
