I was in a similar situation: I love LISP and I wanted to use it for web development. I spent several days looking at Clojure and Compojure for this purpose but came to the conclusion that it was far too restrictive and cumbersome for rapid web development. Then I discovered the Dragonfly framework, a web framework for the newLISP scripting language and became its co-author. Advantages over Clojure/Compojure: - No need to switch web servers to Jetty/TomCat. (runs as cgi). - PHP-like development, no need to recompile/reload code. - Extremely dynamic and flexible routes. - Very fast and very low memory usage. - newLISP is an awesome language. http://www.rundragonfly.com/ http://www.rundragonfly.com/ http://www.newlisp.com http://www.newlisp.com Questions to the Dragonfly forum: http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 It's still young and is being actively developed, but I think if you give it a look over you'll find much to love about it.
