I&#x27;ve been doing Clojure for the better part of 3 years now and I&#x27;m not sure I get why people feel doing web development in Clojure is hard. Our first foray in Clojure was&#x2F;is an API to manage our users that was built by 2 developers who were new to the language and has been running largely unmodified since being released.<p>I actually believe the opposite. Jumping into and doing Clojure web development is extremely simple at the core. The issue with frameworks like Rails (and I&#x27;m not against Rails as I have used it on multiple successful projects and still think it&#x27;s great) is that you get so much for free and don&#x27;t have to understand how all the pieces fit and work together (at least initially). Soon enough you have to have more knowledge of that and that&#x27;s were the complexity comes in.
