from the article:

One of the most defining aspects of Pallet is that it is a library, not a service, and hence there is no server to install in your network, just something that you embed in your code or use in your scripts.

To me thats very compelling. I’m subconsciously repelled by the server-client model for deployment, because it doesn’t seem like the simplest way to solve the problem. I don’t use Clojure or Pallet, but now I’m at least going to research them.
