My team recently settled on TypeScript instead of ClojureScript, as TS is the safer bet, more familiar, more consistent with the existing project's tooling, etc. But man... I've taken a handful of files and written them in both TS and CLJS. CLJS is just so much shorter and elegant. I sometimes think we made the wrong decision.
- athousandcounts 9y agoClojureScript is great with Reagent or re-frame... If you write Angular use TypeScript. If you use React, ClojureScript! It's a match made in heaven.
- christophilus 9y agoYeah. I've built toy apps with re-frame, and really liked the way the code looked. But my team is pretty Jr other than me, and I wasn't sure if ClojureScript would work well for us as a team. VS Code is our editor of choice, and it is just really a good environment when paired with TypeScript. Also, my experience with Rails really has me fearful of doing any serious, big work, in a dynamic language.
