I guess it was still very young when you tried it. Things are better now, there are a couple of good books on clojure, many tutorials and the documentation is good (eg. clojuredocs.org). I've started learning it about 2 months ago and the hardest thing for me was figuring out which editor/IDE to use. There's a bunch of options - LightTable, Emacs, NightCode, IntelliJ+Cursive, vi SublimeText and Eclipse. Some work better than others, but eventually I ended up using IntelliJ+Cursive, which provides project integration, REPL and debugger.
