A Clojure learning journey

It wasn't so much about ditching Lein as it was taking a clean-slate opportunity to learn and understand the new CLI tooling.

Nothing wrong with Lein at all!

Knobs and dials: this is true of every eco-system, wouldn't you say? Is 2018 the year of the linux desktop, finally? :-)

I agree that Clojure has a lot.

Right assumes a known context. Do what is right for you. Sometimes, that's Knob A, and sometimes that's Dial B. The fun is in figuring it out.

As a newcomer, I want sensible defaults. I want a Rails. Let me wait to learn the knobs and dials when I’ve got enough base knowledge to evaluate them fairly.

LuminusWeb is a great option for that. The generated code is simple to grasp and change as your knowledge grows.

https://github.com/plexus/chestnut is Clojurescript, but it's fantastic. It's quite easy to roll out a UI and you can build your backend to your specifications. A bit less opinionated than Luminus, but both great for just getting started.
