The Clojure community is small and has a different set of values and 
expectations. I would consider the possibility that you’re framing your 
question in a way that doesn’t resonate very clearly with people who might have 
an opinion. 

If I understand it correctly, you’re asking “should I query a GraphQL backend 
directly or via a framework?” Since the cost of experimentation in this 
language is so low, most people will be thinking “why don’t you just try both 
approaches?”

If you can’t find a framework that does it, chances are it’s so easy to do in 
Clojure/ClojureScript that nobody bothers to put an abstraction there. What 
happens when you make a GraphQL query yourself? If it’s super easy you may 
elect to forego any frameworks even if they exist!

Another community idiom is that our programs are collections of small, 
composable functions. When written this way, the cost of making a framework 
choice that turns out to be suboptimal is very low. In writing Clojure I’m 
generally much less anxious about upfront framework decisions compared to other 
languages - I’m willing and able to change quite fundamental components if 
things aren’t working out. This is another reason questions like “which thing 
does everyone choose for this?” are often answered with “pick the one that 
works for you”.
