&gt; For backend web development Rails is still miles ahead of any Clojure workflow.<p>I feel the same way. And in my opinion, is a symptom of the &quot;library vs framework&quot; culture that is present in the Clojure community. While that is probably a good stance for the first 2 points in your list, in web development there are just so many already-solved-problems that you have to re-work without a framework.<p>Luminus looked good but seems to be shunned by the community.
