Flask started off as a sort of joke -- a few Python programmers, responding to criticism of bloat in Django, said it should be possible to create a single file web app. And they succeeded. You can certainly create a single-file web app in Clojure, and I think there are several examples on the web, that are very much comparable to the simple examples given for Flask. But, again, I agree with those above who suggested that maybe this should be offered as a lein template.
