Clojure libraries target microservices with a precision that no other language ecosystem has. In essence, Clojure web services developers rail against Rails and other bloated, unnecessarily complected (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/) frameworks of the 90s. As a Clojurist I too rail against Rails. I don't think that expansive model fits the problem space. I have had painful experiences in the past maintaining Rails projects wondering why they didn't know of DRY. If there is a essence within Rails that you feel could be distilled into a lean Clojure model, build it out in a library and share it.
