Why Lift is My Favorite Web Framework

This is OT, but you really should track clicks on links (if you need to do it in the first place) in a different way than this: my first encounter with Lift

Came here to say the same. At least they should detect a scroll wheel click and open the link in a new tab.

Or they could use the google approach and change the link in the last moment to point to a tracking service.

One more with the same problem. Right click open in a new window, and then 3 tabs with about:blank.

That is also because using lift?

I've had very similar feelings using enlive in Clojure land. I doubt I'll be switching back to a more traditional templating engine any time soon.

No, Lift does NOT do this. The site appears to be running on WordPress (guessing based on the 'wp-content' in the paths for assets).

I confess to having a bit of a crush on Lift so I was happy to see something about it on the front page, but this article is a little vague, so most people will probably remember the intrusive click tracking over anything else.

Nope. This is a wordpress blog.

Yeah, thought of Enlive when I read this. I wish this style of templating could get imported into Rails.
