I recently did some research into web frameworks on Github. Here's what I found:

FRAMEWORK       LANG          CONTRIBUTORS         COMMITS

Luminus        Clojure            28        678
Caribou        Clojure             2        275

Beego        Golang            99        1522

Phoenix        Elixir              124        1949

Yesod        Haskell           130        3722

Laravel        PHP                268        4421

Play                Scala               417        6085

Symfony        PHP                1130        20914

Rails        Ruby               2691        51000


One could conclude from this that the Clojure community isn't that interested in web development but the last Clojure survey suggests otherwise. Clojure's library composition approach to everything only goes so far with large web applications, as Aaron Bedra reminded us in March last year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBL59w7fXw4 . Less manpower means less momentum and more bugs. Furthermore, I have a hunch that Clojure's poor adoption as indicated by Indeed.com maybe due to this immaturity in the web framework sphere. Why is it that Elixir, with a much smaller community and lifespan than Clojure's, has managed to put 4 times as much mindshare into its main web framework when its module output, as measured by modulecounts.com, is a tiny fraction of Clojure's?
