The post discusses the nuances of building web applications using Clojure, emphasizing that Clojure's frameworks often differ from more common approaches by allowing developers to assemble web stacks from production-grade libraries rather than relying on monolithic frameworks. The author addresses the benefits and challenges of this approach, suggesting it encourages a more tailored, individualized development process. Metabase is highlighted as a relevant example of a large Clojure application, and there's an invitation for broader discussion on alternatives to traditional web frameworks, such as the Biff framework. The post is an attempt to deepen understanding of Clojure's flexibility in web development.
