This was a nice timely read, I just starting learning Clojure because I want to dive a bit deeper into Lisp. Thanks for posting, and best wishes to the UK NHS.

Hilarious fact: a doctor at a Bradford hospital reckons there is an increase in A&E admissions on Thursdays due to the clapping. I mean, if that's true...I have no words.
To the OP:
Your write-up (nicely done) is particularly interesting to me in that I'm using this unplanned furlough to work on diving back into Clojure and coincidentally was wanting to set up some static personal sites.
Thanks for sharing the write-up and sentiments.<p>May I ask:
- Do you use this approach more generally in your work? At first glance, it feels heavyweight for something like a blog (e.g. the intention site), but after perusal I appreciated the clarity of the Clojure code. Just curious if you've been doing this a lot and whether you find it efficient in the longer-term.
- Do you have any opinions regarding the more "framework like" static generation tools for Clojure (misaki, etc)?
The NHS needs funding, not our "thanks".<p>The Government's current drive to propagandise their ongoing failure to fund essential public service should not be tolerated.<p>(For those who are unaware, in the UK we are currently being asked by the powers that be to take part in a "clapping session" on the streets weekly).
Did anyone hear of this rainbow = NHS thing before the Queen’s speech?<p>I ask because surely most of the country knows the existing connection between the rainbow symbol and LGBT issues.<p>Like, areas of my city painted roads in rainbow colours several years running to show welcome and support.<p>I’m vaguely wondering whether the rainbow was deliberately hijacked, in the same way as the phrase ‘postcode lottery’ was repurposed by the right.
