   but I run a boostrapped business that would never be possible if it wasn't for Clojure (and specifically ClojureScript). Something doesn't sound right.

   All that is only true until you have to reach to Java interop because of Clojure's lack of ecosystem of libraries. Since this is a necessity and fairly common, now you are back to this enormous OOP world of over-engineered libraries, e

   does rust require everyone calling that function the old way to change their code? If so that not an improvement! Can you share why is that bad? the compiler will tell you exactly where you need to make the changes.

   I guess this makes "national security" as an argument a bad joke.

   That's more work and more messy than just writing the whole thing as a SPA from the beginning IME. I'm talking about real interactive applications, not simple blogs.

   Much faster compiles times sounds like a good reason to me ;)

   Don't suffer from the blub paradox. Can you expand on what you mean by this?

    This sounded more like a anti-SPA post. Maybe the title should be "Reasons for not building a SPA".

    Java is going downhill(as in not much new code is being written in it), so of the mainstream languages is going to get supported last if ever.

    Stepping further from Go, this same principle is at play in Clojure, which favors open maps for information. Curious, know little Clojure but isn't "open objects" a Javascript thing too? What is special about Clojure here?

    No SEO needed, web app behind a login. Will try to write a PoC with domvm, thanks. My goal is <300ms including 60ms network latency.

    That's fast hydration. How much will the performance suffer if no hydration was done but you kept the multi page aspect? ex: As if you took out SSR from Thermasoft and did client rendering witg domvm but doing page reloads for main pag

    React is not the problem, it's fine as a component in a page. The issue is the abuse of SPAs.

    interop is first class That's hardly true, not even clojure.org claims that. Interop is far from seamless.

    This happened to me with Clojure. You really get to appreciate languages with big ecosystems when working on niche languages. It's sad because these languages are more enjoyable to work with IMO. Thy are better cause they had the advan

    NextJS is another alternative. To talk to a (django) API you need to go through getStaticProps and getServerSideProps which, depending on the location of your API server, can be a little slow, but you get pre-rendered HTML and page based r

    If you feel the same way about the Elm project as the author of the article does, you won't be happy with Clojure[script] either. Its community already went through this drama and all the top community contributors(or that at least tri

    Already implied that in "truly serverless and scalable database". My point is that it would be very dumb to not use something like postgres for relational data unless you really need those dynamodb features.

    Curious, besides being a truly serverless and scalable database why else would one choose to model relational data in DynamoDB? For the 'single table design' scheme the author talks about you are in a world of hurt if you need new

    Clojure is the most productive(and beautiful) language in existence(personal preference) as long as you don't have to leave its world. I stop using it because the lack of Clojure libraries pushed me to use Java libraries, and that was
