I think it is one of the best stacks out there for web.

Check out this:

It uses figwheel for the dynamic changes of state when you change to code, and it renders it without reload ala Bret Victor style. The first time I saw it I was amazed. It speeds up prototyping so much.

The out of the box performance is decent as well, Ring and Hiccup is pretty lean but you can go for more heavy frameworks (I don't have any experience with those).

I personally use Reagent + Ring, found it easy to use and get productive in a day.

If you haven't used LISP or any homoiconic language before it might look little weird at first but I found it easy to explain to people.

About the toy part, what is your definition of toy?

So how do you start using this example?

You need leiningen (it's in most package managers):

https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen

Clone the repo, `lein figwheel`, http://localhost:3449/index.html

I would do something like this on my macbook:

git clone blah && cd blah && brew install leiningen && lein figwheel

I don't know what is you operating system and other details.

You need leiningen, that is the make of Clojure, the repository cloned and you are good.
