I use clojurescript because it allows me to share code between the backend and the browser. I use it because clojurescript has alot of nice features out of the box, like google closure minification, like macros, like immutable collections, like macros, like core.async, like... Most of these things can be fixed in JS (in any language really) with libraries and tools, but I like having them integrated in the language proper, available by a quick command to leiningen.
Most of all though, I just prefer the language. The syntax is shorter, the functional toolbox is bigger, and there are less surprises in general. There is also something to be said for libraries. Clojurescript libraries all have a pretty high chance of using immutable collections and being google closure compatible. That is not something that can be said for JS. -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
