Can ClojureScript transpile to plain JavaScript?

[Oliver Baumann]

Just figuring, it might be good to check whether I can achieve with ClojureScript what I want to do:

We have a website with some JavaScript functionality (some reading of JSON data, some calculations, etc).

I'm planning to (re)write and extend the JavaScript parts with ClojureScript (to learn Clojure and to keep the site better maintainable). For this I would like to write ClojureScript, transpile it with clj, copy the JavaScript output to the web server and then view our HTML page which includes/loads the JavaScript.

Feasible?

Many thanks for any pointers!

Yes; transpiling to plain JavaScript is really what ClojureScript was designed to do. You can also very easily call existing JavaScript from ClojureScript code, so you may be able to start using ClojureScript without having to rewrite all of your existing code.
