Django-like framework in Clojure

The most popular Clojure web framework right now is Noir by far. In my mind, Noir is in the same category as Sinatra and Flask---a microframework that allows you to expose some functionality over HTTP.

I find myself constantly reimplementing the same general-purpose code for every project. Things like authentication, form validation and even ORM are missing from Noir. What I would like to see is a new Clojure framework that is based around similar ideas as Django or Ruby on Rails. I want all the batteries included.

Shopping list

  • Sane, built-in templating language (Jinja2, Mustache)
  • Forms (display, validate, save, csrf protection)
  • ORM (can be fairly simple)
  • Admin interface
  • Pagination
  • E-mail sending

Questions?

Feel free to ask more questions below. If there is a project like this already in the works, please do let me know.

@honza - did you find something? I want to use clojure and I agree. I want login/auth, and admin-ui, migrations, etc.

did you find anything close?
