Question from @niwinz in the #admin-announcements channel - @luke have you considered funcool/catacumba as alternative to pedestal?

Whatever you do for HTML generation, please escape content by default simple_smile

@niwinz @surreal.analysis I am not familiar with those, but I’ll definitely check them out - I certainly want to build on the best thing out there.

And it’s likely you’ll be able to swap out the implementation simply by using a different module anyway.

@glenjamin: don’t worry, Arachne apps will be secure by default. I plan to get a professional security audit of the default setup at some point later on when things stabilize.

just wanted to mention that early, major footgun in hiccup simple_smile

@luke nice, the pluggable backend is nice, but catacumba is pretty high level, is not a "ring" impl. It a complete toolkit "a la pedestal" that I think it has simplier approach and better documentation

I’m going to be replacing the “programmer interface" layer of Pedestal with something easier and more usable, anyway - part of how Arachne abstracts all the facts about an application (routes, migrations, resources, dependency-injected components, etc) into a central configuration.

I’ll definitely look at Catacumba though - at the very least for inspiration and ideas of how to make a nice UI, whether or not I use it as (one possible) backend.

by UI I mean programmer UI

😉 nice

other security things I can think of that I believe are hard to retrofit would be: if there are any secret strings (eg. for signed cookies) ensure lein templates etc generate unique values if you have models with a merge(new-data) type interface, make it easy to whitelist attrs if you have models, ideally make it easy to have a 1-many relationship with resources (edit-profile vs admin-user for eg)

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
