Agreed. It would also be nice to see a simple snippet of source on the front page similar to Flask[0] or Iron[1]. Perhaps something above or to the right of the "

I had immediate association of Lucerne with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and for some odd reason CERN's LHC, the particle collider, in Geneva, Switzerland. Funny how associations bubble up. Why uncomfortable? Not a nitpick, just trying to grok what you wrote. I am very happy to see a CL framework along the lines of flask. I prefer CL to python, although, I use python too, and appreciate its ubiquity - in Blender3D, FreeCad, Vectorworks, etc... I am in the middle of the 1990 book, The Architecture of Symbolic Computers, by Peter M. Kogge. Amazing book. All about non-Von Neumann architectures, Lisp and functional programming.

Well, there's kinda an example in the docs [0]. Kinda related: this appears to be built on the Clack webserver and its homepage lists code snippets of Lucerne alternatives that are built on top of Clack as well [1].

I read through the Twitter-clone example in the docs after I posted my comment. The Twitter-clone is a little bit longer than a quick snippet. I just wanted something that showed a route pointing to an index function returning a hello world and a line of code starting the server.

Also, it is definitely Flask inspired. I might have to do a more in depth comparison of the two.
