I was at Clojure/west today where Pedestal was unveiled. Here are some answers that I picked up:

- Pedestal doesn't deal with the DB. I just grepped for datomic on the codebase and found nothing. Relevance is one half of Datomic so it's not surprising they've used it in their example docs.

- The idea is to use clojure across the entire stack. As a clojure developer, this is fantastic. It also uses EDN as it's wire format.

- I'm not sure how far the composability goes but I get the impression that it's one of their design goals.

- The routing syntax looks pretty simple to me.

I don't get the opinion that this is Rails for Clojure. It's dealing mainly with asynchronous real-time client server communication with some great client additions. It doesn't enforce any kind of DB integration such as DB migrations which have always been one of Rail's killer features to me.
