There are ~9000 people on the Clojure mailing list and ~8000 members of Clojure meetups on Meetup.com. Hopefully those are useful and concrete numbers.

  Yet, essentially all the web application examples I've seen have been very basic / boilerplate. Is Clojure not considered a good tool for complex web apps?

    I think that's because complex web apps don't make good examples. :) There are many people building very complex web apps in Clojure.

    React was the missing link for sophisticated clojurescript web apps. The Clojure community discovered it in December. Expect substantial web apps this year. The largest open sourced example I'm aware of in this new wave of apps is Omchaya [1] which isn't that large but shows how large apps could be structured.

    For a non-trivial example of a web application, check out http://www.dynamicalsoftware.com/software/architecture/oss/clojure http://www.dynamicalsoftware.com/software/architecture/oss/c... which documents the making of a news feed service that is written in clojure and combines lots of other open source technology such as postgresql, cassandra, solr, redis, and kafka.
