Great pointers, I started learning Clojure for a hobby project and was initially put off by the lack of ‘frameworks’ like nextjs or rails, but after effectively piecing my own stack together from components like Reitit and Integrant I’m really glad I didn’t use a framework.

I actually feel like I understand everything that happens in the system now, and when problems arise I can REPL in and hunt them down with confidence.

Though I don’t use Clojure professionally, I’ve definitely become a better developer just from playing with it, a contrast to JavaScript where I feel like learning it actually lowered my iq…
