Often people ask what frameworks clojure offers - the answer is generally suggestions for libraries.

You don't need a framework - frameworks tend to obfuscate language details and "help" you avoid parts of the language that shouldn't exist (read: lock you into a pattern that is hopefully suitably flexible for your needs).

Clojure with a few libraries is already so minimal and flexible that more layers of abstraction are typically not worth it.
