Hi, author of closp (https://github.com/sveri/closp https://github.com/sveri/closp).
TLDR; Yes, clojure is behind in regards of web development, but it is not as bad as you said. There is active work done in this area.
I totally agree with what you said. It is a general understanding in the clojure community that you compose libraries to get things done.
However, for web development that still means a lot of repitition, thats why I created the closp template.
It is based on luminus (http://www.luminusweb.net/ http://www.luminusweb.net/) which is a lighter "framework" with more options.
My idea was to provide one way with sensible defaults to get started in doing web stuff in clojure.
I still work regularly on it and would be happy about contributions / feature requests. Whereas regularly means in terms of months as I do this all in my spare time.
Also I am quite active in the clojure community and I know that luminus is not shunned, but instead it also receives improvements and releases regularly. Also the author of luminus works professionally with clojure and with luminus.
And I have to admit, that luminus has the far superior documentation, he has done a good job on it I think.
