Yes, there's a lot of detail in REST behavior and Liberator captures all of that. > The lisp mindset is rather why I came over to clojure, but I wasn't > expecting to have to write quite so much code to get on with things. I'm curious how this experience would have fared in Lisp? (I haven't done any serious work in Lisp - and haven't used any Lisp systems much since the mid-80's - so I don't know what sort of web and DB libraries exist out there for Lisp) > Part of the 14 hours has been a learning curve for the libraries involved. Ah, yes, understandable. As Phil says, rolling your own migrations, native to Postgres, is probably the best way to go in that area. At World Singles, we use external SQL files with a prefix indicating DB "level" and an indicator of dev vs prod migration, and a small Clojure script that figures out what needs applying. That's partly because we started out with SQL files - sometimes provided by DBAs - before we introduced Clojure to the project. Like Phil, I tend to prefer to avoid SQL abstractions, unless I specifically need the ability to compose fragments of SQL, so I tend to work directly with java.jdbc with just a few helpers built on top of it (find-by-keys, get-by-id, delete-by-id). I ported my own simple, convention-based MVC framework to Clojure (from CFML) and it's based on Ring and I just tend to "go with the flow" as far as the standard middleware is concerned. That framework has simple render-json etc functions for returning JSON or XML or whatever as a REST response, and controllers are simple functions (operating on a simple map of parameters) and views - if returning HTML rather than just data - are Selmer templates (Django style). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
