I was around when the Clojure community seemed to make a conscious decision to not chase Android, so it's precisely their decision to miss that train.
But I think Clojure isn't in a terrible spot right now. It gets a modest amount of use. More than I think many people imagined it possibly could have.

- yogthos 8y agoClojure approach to mobile development is to piggy back on React Native. Using [re-natal](https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal) is pretty smooth nowadays, and you get some really nice benefits such as hot code loading, and being able to use re-frame for the UI. React Native works well enough for a lot of apps out there, and makes it relatively easy to write cross-platform apps. So, it's a pretty good platform to build on in my opinion.
