Hi Victor, 
you could don’t believe me, but I landed on ClojureScript without being a 
front-end guy. I started writing modern-cljs tutorials while I was teaching it 
to a couple of my mathematicians. I NEVER developed any serious JS stuff before 
that moment. I only studied JS many years ago and a THOSE time I found it not 
to be something I would enjoy to work with. One of the reasons why I fell in 
love with CLJS is because I could use it without knowing too much about JS. 

If I was able to afford it, I think that anybody could do at least the same, 
you included. 

my best
