Definitely Clojure with http-kit [1]. Easy to use, minimalist and supports websockets.

However, it depends from your use-case. Could add some detail please?

I used to be a big fan of http-kit, but it seems like it's not maintained anymore. I've since moved on to Immutant 2, which seems to offer much more. The primary difference between Immutant 2 over 1 is that it's not monolithic and you can just import what you need. And I believe it's faster too.

Also, yesterday I announced that I am writing a book on developing REST API's in Clojure, if anybody's interested in learning: http://christopherdbui.com/announcing-practical-rest-apis-in...

looking up to it!

I can personally second this. It is pretty quick to get a micro service up and running with Clojure. My team has been using the Duct[0] generators which set up a nice scaffolding. It also includes some decent examples writing components, models and endpoints. Plus swagger is free out of the box.

That looks like it is a HTTP server.

What parts of CRUD does it help with, does it have say an ORM (or equivalent way to interface with a database) and some sort of default interface so the user can work with it?

I picked some best library choices in this repo https://github.com/pjagielski/modern-clj-web

In short it's component + system + monger + om on the frontend
