to add to the points in the parent post, i'd add that the word "powerful" is being tossed around w/o much consideration here. GOTO is a "powerful" statement in the sense that it lets you "do more" w/ you programs. otoh, it can make programs a lot harder to read about.
that example is probably hyperbole here. i can see the use of mixing "styles" w/ "code" (this is pretty standard in cljs). however, does a decoupled design team really need more than sass/less -- or another way, do the time-savings from the cases where something else would be useful offset the potential complications of the cases where it could muck with other parts of the process?
tl;dr JS "power" may shoot foot
