The added value of Clojure over JavaScript is marginal, and the trade-off is significant.


Sorry, but this is plain wrong. Clojure is a functional first language with an extremely powerful macro system. JavaScript has ad-hoc monkey patching and a heavy toolchain requirement to enable immutability.


And the industry doesn't care, ecosystem is 100x more important (please don't bring up that "seamless interop" fallacy crap).
