Once nice thing with Clojure is that it targets both the JVM and Js runtimes. All the devs on my team work on full stack, because we don't really see the separation. It's the same language, same tooling, and often same libraries.
On top of that, Clojure ecosystem is a lot more stable than Js. Library APIs don't keep randomly changing, there isn't an explosion of frameworks. My team has been using Reagent/re-frame for the past 4 years, and it just works. Whenever a new version comes out we just bump up the dependency.
What's more interesting is that Reagent is built on top of React, and React itself went through many breaking changes over the years. Yet, Reagent API remained stable throughout that time. I think that's a testament to how well it was designed from the start.
- viebel 7y agoI completly agree with yoghtos. One of the main reasons, Clojure is not as famous as it could be in the developer community, because it has a reputation of a language that is hard to learn. I hope that my book will attract many non-Clojure devs inside our wonderful Clojure community.
