I'm glad that my comment gave you some motivation. CLJS also had a steep learning curve for me. There are a thousand different aspects to learn, but just start with a template or example app and try to understand everything step by step. Maybe the re-frame template (https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template) will give you a good framework for building your first webapp. And if you get stuck, just visit http://clojurians.net/ - very helpful community. Good luck!
