Also: cross pollination is still happening as libraries like Recoil implement some of the ideas sitting in Reframe for vanilla React.

On the ClojureScript side, I would like to see more projects integrating with platforms like Nextjs and Gatsby.

There is nothing that says ClojureScript can’t be used on the server side and integrate with the platforms you mentioned. It’s likely just a matter of writing wrapper libraries similar to what was done for many Java libraries.

The hard part is that most Clojure devs default to using the JVM server side so there’s not much appetite there to do the work to embrace JS server side frameworks.

It's actually a bit more convoluted because of how these frameworks compile JS into various artefacts https://clojureverse.org/t/creating-websites-with-shadow-clj...

But you're right, for most "serious" projects, people tend to reach for the JVM. Yet, I think a strong ClojureScript presence on the JAMstack would benefit beginners a lot.
