I think clojure's use of higher order functions is very well suited for this. With only a "#" in front the code becomes a lambda function. This pretty much makes the whole concept of handler functions void - or at least trivial. But I'm not sure if it will work out in the end... and I mixed this with liberal use of metadata and thrown away SQL too... mostly I try to go as far as I can and see where I trip. It's fun. And it does make for some terse code. This for example is the code for changing the person responsible for a brief: (html-select (cons {:id 0 :name "- No account -"} (filter #(:is-account %) @users)) :selected (:account brief) :onchangefn #(do (passoc briefs (:brief %) :account (Integer/parseInt (:value %))) (return-from briefs (:brief %)) :onchangeparams (str "&brief=" (:id brief))) And this really is all of it. No html, no sql, nothing.
