Luminus vs AIDA/web

Luminus allows using ClojureScript for client-side development. This allows sharing things like validation logic between the server and the client.

Luminus is built on a stack of composable libraries that can be easily swapped to make the application fit the needs of the user. The applications are generated using Leiningen templates and can be initialized with a specific set of features, such as database connections, needed for a specific application.

Luminus provides step-by-step documentation on how to accomplish common tasks.

Luminus is small and flexible. It's geared towards interactive development using the REPL. You can see your changes as you're working without having to restart the application.

Most frameworks seem to tend towards conceptually simple, but also stripped down (such as Python's Flask), or go the other way and be very fully featured, yet complex. AIDA/web, however, manages to give a programmer a lot of expressive power, while remaining conceptually simple -- an afternoon will get you building websites, and you'll feel comfortable with AIDA/web in just a week or so.

Program your web app in Smalltalk, an enjoyable and easy language to use. Smalltalk was the language to inspire modern Object-Oriented programming and pioneered many of the programming concepts used today, such as MVC.
