I've been a Clojure hobbyist for many years, and these are a few of the things I've done repeatedly:

- Scrape webpages with http-kit and Specter

- Visualizations with Quil

- Serve static pages with Ring, Compojure, and Hiccup

(un)Fortunately, I don't write Clojure professionally, so I can get away with liking it for aesthetic reasons as much as anything. It definitely does feel like swimming against the current sometimes, though - one runs into bus factor issues a lot in the Clojure ecosystem. But hell, I love it all the same :)

Personally, I am really excited for Clerk - this looks like a really useful tool and I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Got any links to stuff you’ve done with Quil?
