My central thesis seems to be getting lost here.

I'm not advocating for a Clojure Rails because I love Rails. I've never used Rails to be honest. I'm arguing open-source efforts are repeatedly being spent on trying to build the next web framework/library/toolkit (Rails) for Clojure and not much else, so it would be great if there was one, so we can get on with filling the gaps in the Clojure ecosystem.




"open-source efforts are repeatedly being spent on trying to build the next web framework/library/toolkit (Rails) for Clojure and not much else", really?

That's contrary to what most of us know. There are some efforts in the Web front, but not much. At least, the community is not paying much attention to these efforts.

Let's look at the list of community funded projects, e.g. those in Clojure Together: the only Web related projects funded were clj-http in 2018, ring, re-frame and reagent in 2020. None of these are Web frameworks, and the rest of the funded projects are not Web related at all.
