How would one compare Elm to ClojureScript? I've been learning Clojure for web development and I really enjoy it. Where does Elm fit into the picture?

    Thanks for that link, I'm planning to learn elm this week and while I really don't like lips syntax clojurescript seems to be a big player too.

  This blog about rewriting a game originally written in ClojureScript in Elm has some comparisons/impressions: https://yobriefca.se/blog/2015/07/29/zombie-dice-score-card-in-elm/ https://yobriefca.se/blog/2015/07/29/zombie-dice-score-card-...

  ClojureScript is a lot more mature, with many companies running it in production. The tooling around it is much better, there are many more libraries available, and it provides seamless Js interop. If you're running Clojure on the backend then you can cross-compile things like validation logic between the two. Use the same build tools and libraries.
