Just want to throw in on this real quick. I am -dumbfounded- by how cool ClojureScript is.
It was about 2AM my time when I first heard the announcement and I stayed up another 3 hours after that watching Rich's talk and playing with the samples. As I see it right now, this is a Big Deal. For lots of reasons. And I suspect it might take some time for the whole concept and its wide ramifications to fully digest for everyone. Like many (I'm guessing), my first question was: will it work with jQuery? I'd never even heard of Google Closure. Suffice it to say it didn't take much time looking into it to get me excited. And for it to click just how smart this whole approach seems it might just be. I am, literally, deploying this to my web app right now. I've got a Compojure route setup for a the resulting output of memoized ClojureScript compile call. I can work on the ClojureScript directly from my project. When something changes, I re-evaluate the memoized fn on my dev box (or on the production server through an SSH tunnel) and boom: I have a fully-optimized script going out to users. Add in a content-hash of the compiled script to automatically expire the old resource, and I have a workflow that I couldn't imagine being much better. Client-side side stuff I've wanted to do with my app but couldn't even begin to have the patience to implement- now suddenly seem trivial in principle. Having access to the reader for transmitting native data structures between the server and client... I don't even have the words. And this is just the stuff that touches me directly and that's obvious. I can't wait to see what people are going to do with this in time. Thank you: awesome job, guys.
