Is there any advantage (to the end-user) of using a 'Clojure map' for the front matter of a post, rather than using YAML like site generators from other languages do, e.g. Jekyll, Wintersmith (Node), Mynt (Python). I kinda like that my markdown files are cross-compatible with any of these various site generators and would say that YAML front matter is something of a de-facto standard? If avoiding YAML is an opinionated stance aimed at fellow Lispers, then I think that's fair, but I think the messaging should perhaps be more along the lines of 'this is a site generator for Clojure people', not 'this is the easy site generator'. I don't think that's a bad thing, as a lot of people prefer to use a site generator written in their language of choice. Of course this could be made a moot point by offering a YAML plugin and a single line in the docs saying '... or you can use YAML syntax if you'd prefer'. Also w.r.t using Clojure maps, the metadata section of the writing posts [1] docs page could use a full example, otherwise I need to google Clojure map syntax.
