What is the good starting point for Clojure development on Google AppEngine

Question

What is the good starting point for Clojure development on Google AppEngine?

Seems like there are two competing libraries appengine-magic and compojure-gae.

What is your opinion?

A nice lib. It takes away most of the stuff you don't want to deal with. It just as easy as a normal Clojure Webapplication.

The appengine-magic lib is really what you should look at. Im working with it too.
