absolutely love clojure and all that it's taught me. i even ported many of the core functions to python so i could continue using them.

but not a fan at all of writing html in clojurescript. it's extremely ugly to look at vs raw html/jsx. and became cumbersome really fast for me as my app grew in size... maybe there are better alternatives now, this was around 5 years ago.

using react with libraries like ramda/redux/rxjs in affect achieve the same thing but with 10x more libraries and references online.

the philosophy behind clojure will completely change how you code and visualize problems if you embrace it. honestly can't remember the last time i wrote a for loop...

I’ve done projects with enlive and quite enjoyed it. Allows a workflow where designers create pure HTML/CSS templates and you just fill in the blanks using selectors and transformations written in Clojure.

Was it hiccup syntax that became cumbersome to write?

[papaver]

yes, hiccup. small stuff is fine but when working with real apps and 100s of lines of html that make up pages... no thanks.
