I believe it is, the problem with both Backbone and Angular is that they treat UI development like it is still assembling a page and then sending it down to the client. They encourage monolithic controllers that are not discreetly tied to t

either or, Clojure has more of a focus on functional programming and immutability than some other lisp implementations but honestly they don't really get in the way and most lisp lean that way anyways. Personally I would say stick to C

For me lisp in general was like that. But I just kept on until it clicked (mainly because I was getting sick of hearing all the hype and wanted to fully understand what all the fuss was about). A lot of people talk about when lisp clicks it
