Overview

FluteFlute is an elegant HTML5 generation library designed explicitly for users of Common Lisp. It combines the simplicity of a straightforward syntax with powerful capabilities that allow you to create reusable and composable components. Inspired by the approach taken in frameworks like React, FluteFlute empowers developers to focus solely on HTML5 while enhancing flexibility and maintainability in their web development projects.

The library emphasizes ease of debugging, letting you view pretty-printed HTML snippets directly in your REPL. This feature is particularly advantageous for developers looking to streamline their workflow and gain quick insights into the generated code. With FluteFlute, constructing HTML elements becomes a seamless experience, making it an excellent choice for both novices and experienced Lisp programmers.
