I've started a company that is developing a web application in Clojure. I chose Clojure because, of the available JVM languages, it is the most fun to program -- ie I didn't choose it for good business reasons. I am enjoying development so far but I think it is important to point out that, wonderful though compojure is, web development in Clojure lacks facilities that more mature web frameworks provide in other languages. I see this as no bad thing for me personally (I like the unpolluted simplicity) but it will effect the competitive edge of any startup that chooses to standardise on Clojure. This will change with time of course, so it may be that starting a Clojure specific incubator at this early stage is a wise move in the long term. However, it may be advisable not to over-promise in the early stages. Saul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
