> poorly-maintained clojure-ish libraries to paper over the java/javascript bits, which get out of date quickly. Care to elaborate? For example, re-frame, reagent have been stable, reliable libraries for years. In contrast to many JS libraries. JS interop has been virtually unchanged for years. What am I not seeing here?

Clojurescript relies on the closure compiler which doesn't play well with the Javascript ecosystem. Too much "busy work" https://dev.solita.fi/2020/06/25/taming-cljs-advanced-compilation.html https://dev.solita.fi/2020/06/25/taming-cljs-advanced-compil...

  The gains from the advanced optimizations mode under discussion there are nice and the setup is known to be a little finicky wrt dependencies. But it's opt in and rarely necessary.

    Unless you want to ship a 5MB browser bundle for a 'hello world', advanced compilation is not necessary, is obligatory.

      It's like 200 kB gzipped for hello world with simple optimizations. When you use webpack, you can use that ecosystem of space optimizers too.
