The speed at which I can develop prototypes in clojure is unmatched by anything else. REPL driven development, frontend with reagent, and sharing domain logic code across frontend and backend is invaluable. Adding spec, datascript, and core.async makes previously complex tasks extremely fast and boilerplate free.

I usually prototype this way and then move things to a different stack piece by piece when others get involved, as the interop with Java and JavaScript is great.

Wow Reagent looks really nice. I don’t know clojure, but this is quite readable and appears to let you skip a lot of the normal effort involved in a react app.

If the dev experience is so great, why move at all?

[nikodotio]

Because there are not as many clojure developers and growing a team and finding particular experts in certain fields is harder.

Less amazing design/html/css people know reagent than react, for example.
