I also think that is useless to argue as you also have already made your mind. A lot of people would said the same about angular1 and here we are, stuck with an angular2 that breaks your app every release, the last one was angular cli.

I don't update for every single release like you do I guess. So maybe I have not had any problems that you've had. Ionic does not update right away when angular changes either.

My opinion doesn't really matter though. I use what is popular so that I have plenty of help getting my work done. The only opinion that I've given you of Clojurescript so far is that I don't think it's as popular. Other than that, nobody has told me what is so great about it in this thread or anywhere. So I really don't think that you have any basis to say that my mind is made up about how great that is. You're not selling it at all and you didn't even answer my question about it.

You misunderstood my point since the beginning. I never said clojurescript is currently the best option to software development, but it do fixes the architectural problems of JavaScript. As it is javascript, it improves the platform/ecossystem as a whole.

If you wanna a good example: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

Riiiiight. That's why you made the argument about React/Reagent/Om when I pressed you about that point. Nice try though!

Anyway, I think I pointed out how wrong you are on just about every other point you made in this thread. Anybody who reads this will certainly see that. So, my work is done here :)

Enjoy that last word if you want!

Let me highlight were your desillusion started:

> Clojurescript, for example, makes most of the anti-JS arguments silly, although a lot of people think they look smart bashing JS

Cljs has types (spec), great concurrency and is a very concise language, created by a very smart architect, Rich Rickey.

But ok, you won, man!
