Hi Plínio, Thanks for the question. I considered writing Ring handlers for Qarth, but since most people would either use Friend or have custom Ring handlers anyway, the advantage was unclear. However, Qarth was written s.t. a small set of auth-related methods can be adapted to any OAuth provider. This lets you write "OAuth agnostic" code if you don't want to use Friend.
Before I wrote Qarth, I asked around Clojure users how they handeld OAuth, and a lot of them wrote OAuth handling code by themselves. This didn't seem efficient since most people just wanted to do the same thing with OAuth--log in users and get a token to make requests. However, differences between OAuth providers made code reuse difficult, despite a few attempts at fixing the situation. This is the wheel I hope doesn't have to be reinvented.
