Clojure
I do! Clojure and Pedestal https://github.com/pedestal/pedestal work great for quick MVPs. Clojurescript with a nice HMR environment like Figwheel https://figwheel.org/ is also great if you need a front end.
Relatively, JVM and Clojure ecosystem is much more mature and performant.
I would any day prefer Clojure and framework Pedestal.
It's also worth mentioning Pedestal[1] - in place of Ring and Compojure. Pedestal is set of libraries for building web services that is fast and secure by default. It fully embraces async capabilities (unlike Ring which is inherently synchronous), and maintains most Ring compatibility. It sits upon battled-tested technologies (Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, Undertow, etc).
For Clojure, some pretty good web frameworks (with ORM and everything) are starting to pop up [1] [2] [3] [4], but they're still early revisions and thus are prone to bugs and security holes [5].
However, due to the JVM nature, one could use some of the well-tested and well-defined Java Web Framework from Clojure (with a lightweight wrapper, of course). I'm not really sure if people are actually doing that in production, though. [6] [7]

ClojureScript specially has taken off. This project, then you have the extreamly cool (but a bit hard to understand) pedestal (https://github.com/pedestal/pedestal), the Om (https://github.com/swannodette/om) library has made a splash even in the JS community.
A lot of exitment around core.asnyc (witch allows CSP like Go) on the web.
