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.

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)?

Thanks very much! I've made a few small static sites this way, and it's worked really well. However, it is missing several features that you need for larger (or more frequently changing) sites: asset minification, markdown compilation, etc.. Once these things become a pain, I'd either bring in a library like Misaki or Stasis (although I haven't actually tried either of these myself), or move to Hugo/Gatsby.
