Really interesting, but where / how is the user's session data stored? client side or server side?

A small amount of additional detail on the Clojure Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/...

The author mentions he uses the continuation monad.

From the article:

There are two ways to do this. Firstly, each time a web page is requested, embed the entire context of the session into it so that the context is returned whenever a request is generated from that page. Alternatively, the application server has to maintain a list of all the contexts of all active sessions and associate each context with a session identifier.

[...]

I chose to implement a web session library based on the second concept.

That would make it server side.

I'm the author of that library and tutorial. The session state is definitely on the server side.
