Clojure's history of web development began with using Clojure as a library for Java servlets in 2007. In 2009, Ring was introduced as a standard for request-response processing using Clojure maps and middleware. This was inspired by Rack and WSGI. Compojure provided routing capabilities. Early frameworks like Noir and Conjure bundled technologies but lacked flexibility. More recent options like Pedestal, Duct, Arachne, and Luminus integrate Clojure libraries for full-stack development with options for asynchronous processing, components, and Node.js support. The ecosystem continues to be driven by community contributions.
