Of course! That said, I think the typical use with ClojureScript/re-frame doesn't lead you into an academic or pedantic world of heavy FP. The benefits of being functional are largely abstracted away. You're mostly going to be writing some HTML in DSL-style reagent(1), and mapping over lists/maps.
That's largely why you can get productive reasonably quickly, even with the intimidation factor still present.
