I'm "unhappy" with ClojureScript but not in anyway like it seems you are.
My unhappiness with it is more akin to my unhappiness with ANY language that tries to target multiple VM platforms, and that's mostly due to the -potential- to break the community. One of the main reasons Clojure "made it" over other lisps on the JVM IMHO was its pragmatic approach, and it's seamless and beautiful interop with Java and Java libraries. We've now seen A LOT of adoption and libraries wrapping around existing java frameworks, and we're also now starting to see native Clojure libraries - however, these are native libraries wrapping low level JVM classes, so are still tied to the JVM. Enter ClojureScript, for the most part you will be able to reuse server code on the front end, but some of those libraries you've become accustomed to using just won't work, and if you're working to a deadline and suddenly hit that - you're going to become frustrated beyond all hell ;-) Of course, the likely hood of this happening is very low, but I can see it coming up -sometime-. All that being said, everything I've seen with ClojureScript is just pure awesome. On 27/07/2011, at 12:32 AM, James Keats wrote: > It was a serious title.
