From Rails to Clojure, Then to Java, Then Back to Rails

Clojure also clicked with me too, and I also dislike huge frameworks.

There's a trade off there though, rails gives you so much, you almost forget what the problems are with slapping different libraries together.

Definitely room for a "blessed" path to web dev in clojure.

re-frame is the uncrowned king of web dev at the moment, there is nothing like it out there

That's only for the front end though. Lots of people use Compojure which is essentially Sinatra if you're coming from Ruby. Luminus is a far more complete solution that feels like Rails. After I cut my teeth enough times starting from nothing, Luminus unfortunately feels a little clunky because you have to figure out how it's all glued together.

There's Macchiato (https://macchiato-framework.github.io) by the author of Luminus if you want to target Node.js.
