-slightly off topic-

I really like some of these languages. Clojure is something I've worked with but haven't built a complete product from, but I'd like to make something standalone.

I just wish there was a single website devoted to re-creating the terribly boring "Employee Directory Website" app in each language of choice.

It would be even better if the creators of said language would go through the time to make the example site so I could see how they imagine a CRUD layer working, or sessions, or REST/XML data, or the sql connection.

For every "new" language it seems I can find a hundred examples of fibonacci sequencing (or more recently everyone seems to enjoy creating 'twitter in 5 lines of code!') but almost no real "boring web stack" examples.




There are quite some interesting web apps implemented in clojure. Build web app with clojure is where clojure shines. I've built a few, some are for the company which pay me. One for myself, the source code https://github.com/shenfeng/rssminer. You can have a look, It did the things you mentioned


Ok. Perhaps we should start an os project trying to build it. Where s an example in another language?
