Not an expert, but having dabbled in cljs, I think this misrepresents it. The closure dependency makes things arguably heavier at dev time, but at compile time it allows for a lot of dead code elimination and other optimization that makes the actual output much more light weight. It doesn't slow down development, but allows for a much better product to be deployed.

Fair enough. However, as I've mentioned, there are other reasons I dislike clojure.
