Things are progressing and I encourage you to have another look.

    $ lein new figwheel myproject
    $ cd myproject
    $ rlwrap lein figwheel

    Browse to http://localhost:3449
If you return to the terminal, you should have a connected REPL now running. Along with live code reloading on save of your cljs files.


Maybe, but things progressed way further outside of CLJS space. If you told me this 2 years ago when I was in to it I would be jumping right on it - back when people were saying coffescript fixed JS problems :D

Right now JS has persistent datastructure libraries and TypeScript is a huge productivity boost - tooling is top notch - it makes JS manageable, once it gets async/await (which it should in the next couple of months) I'll be pretty happy with JS development story.

I'll miss some niceties like collection operations, homoiconicity and macros but on the other hand I have working optional type checking, excellent tooling and I don't have to code in AST serialization format with macros :D


Interesting. Do you have a link to a very basic "get-started" in this space? Right now, figwheel / om or figwheel / reframe are very quick to get started with (although familiarity definitely plays a part..). Last time I looked at js there were 5 or 6 or so flux implementations competing for mindshare and I had to stumble my way through setting up a project with webpack / babel..


Oh wow, that's a lot nicer than the last time I played with Clojure/ClojureScript. This plus Om makes me really want to play with it now.
