Have you considered node.js? It's fantastic for building web services, very easy to deploy (Heroku), and should scale well enough that most startups won't outgrow it (and if you do, that's a very good problem to have).
You can still build your app using Clojurescript, either for the entire thing, or just in areas where it makes the most sense, which would probably be more palatable for your investors and other business types. The thing is, most developers would probably rather use something like Clojurescript once they learn it, compared to writing raw JavaScript, so that would actually aid your adoption. Framing the choice as PHP vs Clojure makes it an all or nothing decision. But shifting the discussion to the merits of node.js, you can easily justify why it makes sense for your application. Then you can address the JS vs CLJS issue, and even if you lose initially, you still have the stealthy approach of using CLJS to solve a hairy problem in an isolated part of your app, then leveraging that to revisit the merits of using it on a larger scale. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
