Xiana framework

Xiana is a lightweight web-application framework written in Clojure, for Clojure. The goal is to be simple, fast, and most importantly - a welcoming platform for web programmers with different backgrounds who want to experience the wonders of functional programming!

It's easy to install, fun to experiment with, and a powerful tool to produce monolithic web applications.

Installation

From template

Xiana has its own Leiningen template, so you can create a skeleton project with
