There is that other sweet spot: UI programming. I don't think I have ever seen a better setup for UI code.

I just read through the ClojureScript One source and read through their wiki and tutorial. The mini-framework they've developed borrows ideas from (at least as I gather from their docs) functional reactive programming and dataflow programming. You register handlers who respond to events, and it's mostly just functions calling each other, although obviously there's a huge pile of Objects with a capital O in the browser's DOM. But I think it's a pretty compelling alternative, and certainly interesting, although I'm not sure if it's actually better or not.
State machines! But that is another discussion. Let's have it some time.
