As I learned modern JavaScript this year, coming from Clojure most recently, I'm really digging JS's destructuring, extended object literals, spread arguments, and lambda syntax. It's a pretty dang sweet language to write in

If you guys had a home office position for some of the skills I have, I'd definitely have applied.

Have you tried going to local public social events? Have you tried avoiding mentioning your job and just say you work in IT? I'm not saying these will work, just brainstorming ideas. If you figure out the public venues where people wit

> For starters, it's a much cleaner and simpler language. This means that you have a lot less mental overhead working with it. I haven't seen much code that uses the bad aspects of JS, or at least exposes it in library APIs. Yo

Author here. My main reason for moving away from Clojure and ClojureScript, and not towards Haskell or OCaml or even TypeScript (yet!) but rather towards modern JavaScript, is because in general I've been learning to appreciate the Pat

One big downside of SPAs the author didn't mention is the chain reaction effect I wrote about last year[1], where if you start to implement one browser-native feature in JS, it breaks other browser-native features, and it begins a chai

I feel similarly about ClojureScript. It's a neat proof-of-concept, but I'm not really sure what it adds over regular JavaScript (or at least Babel + Webpack) these days.

Not OP, but I've got 5 years experience writing a Clojure web app from scratch. It began as kind of as a knee-jerk reaction to using Rails for a few years. All the reasons you mentioned are reasons we chose Clojure to implement CleanCo
