I think of Javascript as a language that allows you to do functional
programming. It allows you to do a lot of other things, too. Jiyin Yiyong, my
guess is that much of what you do in Clojurescript could be written in an
analogous style in Javascript. There are libraries available for Javascript
that make this easier, and books and websites that teach functional programming
techniques in Javascript. That wouldn't be as much fun as Clojurescript(!),
but it might not be as painful as other programming methods in Javascript.
Maybe the real problem is not Javascript, but the skills of other programmers
you work with (I don't think that imperative programming, OO, etc. is bad--but
it's not what I like), and the libraries you are using (you mentioned some
template languages).
When I worked at jobs in programming teams, sometimes I used functional methods
in Java or in Perl. I had to make sure that other programmers would understand
the code later, so I made sure that I documented it very thoroughly.
