>Frontend development is simply awesome in ClojureScript Is that still tied to that google closure abomination ? I've not been in CLJ ecosystem for >5 years now but last time I used CLJS I remember they went all in on google Closure and it was a major PITA to use the rest of JS ecosystem because of it. Every time I use React I think how it would be great to use Clojure for that, but last time I tried the tooling overhead just killed it for me.

This has been solved now--there's a blessed CLJS solution[1][2] as well as a third-party compiler with NPM support[3] which many prefer.

Shadow-cljs makes everything very easy these days.
