developers don't need to code a web server from scratch.

I mean, that statement is true. But there is nothing in the Clojure ecosystem anywhere remotely close to the level of functionality contained in a framework like Django - Luminus included. Partially this is cultural: the Clojure party line is that libraries are good and frameworks are baaad.

WinFS was too slow and consumed too much CPU resources.

I'm genuinely curious what your source is for this. From the following uncited text on Wikipedia?

"An early revision of WinFS was also included, but very little in the way of a user interface was included, and as such it appeared to early testers to be nothing more than a service that consumed large amounts of memory and processor time."

Or do you have another source?

WinFS betas were released post-Longhorn as well.
