[context: I work at Cognitect on Clojure and community efforts] I'll start by saying that documentation, examples, getting started, etc could be better and efforts are ongoing to improve all of those to various degrees. However, there are substantial and rapidly growing resources (http://clojure.org/getting_started http://clojure.org/getting_started) for learning Clojure and other parts of the ecosystem. Some of the more recent beginner resources I'd recommend are "Clojure for the Brave and True" (http://www.braveclojure.com/ http://www.braveclojure.com/) and Kyle Kingsbury's "Clojure from the ground up" series (http://aphyr.com/posts/301-clojure-from-the-ground-up-welcome http://aphyr.com/posts/301-clojure-from-the-ground-up-welcom...). There are also many good Clojure books - I'd recommend any of them. In the web area, the philosophy is different than other languages and it is evolving rapidly (especially on the client side). Luminus (http://www.luminusweb.net/ http://www.luminusweb.net/) is a good effort to provide a reasonable set of defaults that tie together the various Clojure web libraries. So yes, it could be better. However, there are significant resources now and gaps continue to be filled.
