(founder here) Thank you Dennis! All, broadly, to date we've focused on achieving correct program semantics over syntax/perf/ux/dx. We're rotating onto these issues now, since we've reached a point where, after 2 years of hardcore dogfooding and 8 months of private beta, we're comfortable that brave Clojurists like Dennis will be successful and have an acceptable development experience. (Especially when compared with the benefit of strong composition at the system level - functional programming over entire systems!)
