Building functional Front-ends with ClojureScript

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

ClojureScript compiles Lisp syntax to JavaScript and gives immutable persistent data structures by default so updates use structural sharing and stay cheap, enables core.async go blocks and channels for writing async code in synchronous style, and uses the Google Closure Compiler to do dead‑code elimination and cross‑module code motion so imported libraries shrink dramatically (React builds claim ~60% smaller). npm modules interop works and a single build/repl tool handles deps and live reload.
