So you're using CLJS for the backend?

Also, can you explain what you mean with the following:

"with Clojure/Clojurescript, I was able to make something I could only dream about before."

What does CLJS enable you to do that you can't do with JS / TS?

PS. I'm in a somewhat similar boat, i.e. not a great programmer (not my job anyway) - more of a prototyper - hence my interest in your experience with CLJS.




No. I am using Clojurescript for frontend. What I meant was that my strong point is server side programming and I lack experience and time to master all the nooks and cranies of programming in Javascript.

I built a voice broadcasting service as a side project in Clojure, built on top of freeswitch and Datomic. From low level library (freeswitch-clj) to API server and frontend SPA, all in Clojure(script). The whole system is approximately 32K SLOC, written over 3.5 years. I have tried similar projects with other stack, mainly with PHP+js and python+js. None went as far as this one. Although we are yet to make a profit, I am very satisfied with the whole development process and subsequent maintainability offered by Clojure. In frontend, we are using reframe + antd react UI library, along with other necessary glue libraries from npm.

This is great - thanks for clarifying - I'll check it out.

And good luck with your project!
