Yeah but I hate JavaScript so no wonder it's not on the list. I do however code in ClojureScript and avoid JS interop like the plague as much as possible :)
I had to deal too much with browser based GUIs before things like JQuery and similar things came to life or because the back end framework did not allow me to use something more brilliant than plain JS... it got me disgusted pretty much. ClojureScript has changed my approach to browser based apps but w/o JS as much as possible, now I can conceal my app logic in the browser while using the back end as a resource provider.
