A little demo web app in Clojure, using Component, Ring, Compojure, Selmer (and a database)
There are a handful of "frameworks" available in Clojure -- some of them are really more like curated collections of libraries than what people in other tech communities might expect (such as Luminus - https://luminusweb.com/ - or its updated cousin Kit - https://kit-clj.github.io/). There's Coast - https://github.com/coast-framework/coast - and Biff - https://biffweb.com/ - and there may be a few others.

I used duct for the backend and re-frame for the frontend. Luminus is a much beginner friendly framework through.

In Clojure thing are much more decentralised. We tend to use basic data structures along with data DSLs like Hiccup to build our software since this is the simplest way to convey meaning while retaining structure to perform additional data transformations.
While you won't find your Spring here, you will find that many of those web libraries will tend to use or produce Hiccup, return Ring maps or maybe have pipelines built using interceptors. Composing libraries together is usually not that hard, but it does require you to leave the comfort zone of the framework's abstractions to try to understand what is actually happening e.g. when someone makes an HTTP request and something is returned and displayed in the browser.
I think Clojure needs something like this. A curated, well tested version of https://start.spring.io/, or well-maintained starter templates that folks can clone/mimic.
Oh, I completely agree. I often refer people to https://github.com/seancorfield/usermanager-example and the examples linked from the README there to get them started with the "basics".
