I’m a bit biased, but from my personal experience I would definitely say that it does. I’ve worked on two projects that had different backends (PHP and elixir) where the choice to use clojurescript IMO was the correct one. Both projects relied heavily on highly interactive frontends that would’ve been a nightmare to write if I had to use vanilla js. If your backend can spit out json, and your frontend isn’t static, then I’d say cljs should be good to use regardless if the backend is clojure or not. However, the biggest pain point for me was the disappointment of not being able to use clojure everywhere in the stack... so prepare for that if it’s the route you choose.
