Feng (http-kit's author) should be around shortly if anyone has any questions.

In the meantime, you can also check out http://http-kit.org for more info. That page is a work-in-progress so please excuse any errors.

We were actually planning to post to HN later this week; seems someone beat us to the punch :-)

Don't get me wrong, I really like what you are doing but there are a lot of spelling and grammar errors in your web site. I'm not a native speaker (I also make a lot of errors) but maybe you can get some help from one? Not a big deal but just wanted to let you know. Makes sense if you want to get popular =)

I also have a question: Do you plan to make any comparison tests with Compojure (https://github.com/weavejester/compojure) and lib-noir?

The library author is Chinese, so English isn't his native language. We'll be cleaning up typos soon - this post caught us by surprise.

As for Compojure, etc.- those are libraries that operate on top of a Ring web server. Jetty is the default, http-kit is a drop-in replacement. So basically, you'd use both http-kit and whatever other libraries you normally would (like Compojure).

I swapped out a production Jetty+Compojure app to use http-kit+Compojure by changing ~20 lines of code.

Hope that makes sense?

Yes it does, thanks for the clarification.
Depending on a browser's screen width, the "Fork me on Github" bar's clickable box can almost completely cover the "Blogs" menu item.
Thanks, we'll try get that fixed soon (Feng and I are both at work atm).
