Really a nice approach. Totally appreciate that. If you are looking for inspiration, I put together this template: https://github.com/sveri/closp based on luminus and there are some things I consider fundamental for developing web stuff like authorization and authentication, captcha support, email support, complete reloadability during development and some more. I think if you want to succeed across the clojure world you will have to deliver that and much more.

Considering that when RoR was coming out only few people gave a thing about Ruby and it surely is not much better today. It could be the same for a clojure web framework if we can show the advantages of the JVM.

Hey @luke love that you're endeavoring to make web development (aka distributed systems engineering!) easier. I'd love to contribute materially with pull requests whene'er y'all ready to set it loose

Thanks! It’s coming along well - expect a public code drop in the next few weeks
