I finally released my full stack Clojure framework: Coast on Clojure, tepid response so far probably because the community doesn’t really like frameworks, but I’m a rebel
Cool! Will have an in-depth look at it as I also love both Rails and Clojure (which can get you strange looks from both camps).
TBH I have pretty clear that my next Clojure project will use https://github.com/arachne-framework given its robust architecture / baked-in best-practices.
But yeah always valuable to know how are people writing their backends.
I have mixed feelings about Arachne. I like the stated purpose, and agree that there's many reasons for a Rails-like framework to exist in Clojure. But Luke seemingly hasn't worked on it in months. It seems like the project is in limbo — it's not finished enough to be usable, and it's not finished enough for other folks with time and willingness to lend a hand. Bummer.
Yay for Clojure frameworks! I've done the framework thing, and I've done the library thing, and there is absolutely room and reason for both. I'll take a look at this and keep it in mind when I start my next project.
