This is exactly the reason I'm doing this :-)
From my past efforts, I can offer you https://github.com/cognician/datomic-doc, which is a riff on the idea of marrying a Markdown editor to doc strings on entities in a Datomic database.
It exposes a handful of Ring handlers as a library, so you can plug it into any Ring web app that uses Datomic and get a turn-key tech doc system.
It's a complete Clojure/ClojureScript/Datomic application, and it's only 800 lines.
I hope it helps you, and feedback is totally welcome!
As for 'book learning'; Living Clojure by Carin Meier is currently in the USD 1 Humble Bundle at https://www.humblebundle.com/books/functional-programming-bo.... It has a 13 week FP course in it. Highly recommended.

@whalesalad, would you be willing to give me direct feedback on this project, as I go? I'd love to understand your pain points more fully!

It wasn't so much about ditching Lein as it was taking a clean-slate opportunity to learn and understand the new CLI tooling.
Nothing wrong with Lein at all!
Knobs and dials: this is true of every eco-system, wouldn't you say? Is 2018 the year of the linux desktop, finally? :-)
I agree that Clojure has a lot.
Right assumes a known context. Do what is right for you. Sometimes, that's Knob A, and sometimes that's Dial B. The fun is in figuring it out.
