Because it's more fun.

  That's what I write Clojure for, and end up with something faster and cleaner anyway. I even get to use Netty if I want. It's a bit misguided to make it a matter of taste anyway. There's nothing to discuss if you're making a decision on the basis of "fun". If you don't have rational reasons for making the judgment call, then you don't have anything of substance to actually share about the stack.

    Completely agree. And I know Javascript way better than Clojure. But building an app with Clojure feels like I'm writing high quality code. Writing Node feels hacky and I get an uneasy feeling with it for some reason. I've never liked nodes callback-driven async approach to development. This post summarizes my feelings towards Node better than I can: http://dosync.posterous.com/22397098 http://dosync.posterous.com/22397098

    Chill man. You have no information on the topic of whether or not I have "rational" reasons for making my judgement call; all you can say with certainty is that I haven't explained any to you. Give me a freaking break, dude. I posted like twelve thousand words today. I'm all out of explanation juice.
