I've had the same experience. On the front-end, reagent is a joy to use. Haven't found a framework that feels more elegant/smooth than what reagent does with components and hiccup (maybe adding re-frame for state management).

There are some great choices for the server side too. Plus libraries for pretty much every DB. When something is missing, there's definitely a fallback option in Java.

Plus you get hot-reloading on both sides (e.g. boot-reload and ring-reload). And the ability to bundle everything into one neat jar file so the only dependency for deployment is Java.

Here's a getting started project that I found helpful: https://github.com/oakes/full-stack-boot-example
