the excellent community is one of the reasons I have been so pleased with Clojure professionally as my favorite stack for the past 8 years. I can't say much about the sites you've mentioned, as I rarely go there. Instead I lean on the highly active community forums, especially https://clojureverse.org/ and https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/ (which aggregates many sources). I originally started my Clojure professional journey with the book Web Development with Clojure, which just (second half of 2023) put out a new edition, which I am excited to read soon. It led me to a "batteries included" collection in Luminus, which I expect has changed to Kit (same author, latest technologies) in the new edition.

How's the community? Go introduce yourself at Clojureverse and you'll find a warm welcome :)

I've used hiccup exclusively for html generation over the past 5 years. I just can't bring myself to be happy with anything using raw html stuff, since xml is not only needlessly verbose, but unnecesarily brittle by nature of its design. Don't ask me where to put the </a></li></ul></div>. Just ]]]] and I can rearrange however I want, quickly or with full access to regexps. Clojure syntax (hiccup, edn) is more than just convenient -- it is superior to html for most tasks, for reasons including the regexp compatibility and easy structural editing.
