What does > clojurescript bring to the table? I've been doing JavaScript programming for a long time. JavaScript while it has a neat little core, has a long list of problems. ClojureScript brings better, clearer, cleaner semantics to the table. ClojureScript also bring macros - which allow you to extend the language to the problem at hand. I've needed this ability in pretty much every major JavaScript project I've ever worked on. David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
