I wrote down my complains on React.js and JavaScript side, any opinions?

[Jiyin Yiyong]

I said JavaScript is becoming too complicated and even learning a new language with could be easier. Or maybe something like that.

Do you guys like or hate JavaScript?

You know, I think I've been able to appreciate JavaScript more since learning Clojure, I think it's taught me to think and program in ways that are more effective in JS. That being said, I'd choose ClojureScript over JS any day of the week :)

I have to write JavaScript in my work, and that's not as nice as in ClojureScript.

As a language, I really like JavaScript. Once you get past the few pitfalls and the weird syntax, you get a powerful language with a lot of potential. Being dynamic, (somewhat) functional, and data-oriented, makes it the mainstream language that is closest to Clojure IMHO.

Now, as an ecosystem, I think the Javascript community lacks some great qualities that the Clojure community has. The Clojure community is full of brilliant people taking the language in a direction based on solid and clear principles. This is why I think ClojureScript is currently ahead of JavaScript for web development - smart people, fewer distractions and high-quality libs leading to wonderful tools like Figwheel, Om and Devcards in a very short time.

JavaScript has all the technical features required to achieve the same things as ClojureScript - just not the spirit :)
