I think this article is very fair and, today, you know you are ready for cljs when you no longer value all these things over the pure elegance and simplicity and power of great clojure code, which JavaScript doesn't even approach even with React and es6. The type of person who chooses to write cljs is someone who values code elegance and abstraction power above all else at any cost, and, indeed, pays that cost every day when they try to debug core.async, or try to get a newbie's machine up and running (you end up apologizing 10 times about the fragile tooling and then a hundred more time for the horrible stack traces... I hosted clojure katas for beginners at a meetup last night so this issue is particularly fresh) I could go on. But in the end it is so worth it to me because the raw power of clojure just hits all the high notes in my brain in ways no other language has.
