No, I will readily admit Clojure(Script) is a better language. The only concern might be getting all your team on board with a Lisp, but if that's not a problem, go for it.

If you are not entrenched in the JS world, I would look into Clojure(Script). They've got a lot of really cool stuff going on.

I have significant mental investment in JS, and I work on the JS debugger for Firefox, so I feel like I need to be a heavy user of JS. Also I know so much about all the little corners of server/client JS, package management, how to deploy, etc. I don't think the return would be great enough to re-learn all of Clojure's tools.

If I were to start on certain types of apps (high-performant data modeling, or anything that requires special care about complex flows), I may look into Clojure. But honestly I'm interested in starting to write games so I'm probably going to spend mental energy learning Rust.

If you come from a JS world and like the code->refresh->code->refresh workflow (I do) Clojure is hard adjustment because it requires a lot of boilerplate code up front and you have to remember to run a slow leiningen daemon for each project you're working on.

This largely goes away with http://boot-clj.com/ -- a much better build tool for clojurescript - includes live reload of clojurescript and css.

Awesome, this gives me some new insight.

Clojure has been fun, so to me is really of being good enough at JS to be proficient at Clojurescript.
