it really isn't, unless your goal is to scare away the casuals.
36.
by midnight_eclair 6mo ago

clojure itself is a joy to use, on the web or outside of it BUT it doesn't have the equivalent of rails, mostly because lispers are an opinionated bunch and can't come together to agree on how web development should be done the fr
