ClojureScript Has It All! Except Maybe for Types

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Moved from TypeScript into ClojureScript in 2021 and claims the ecosystem works: shadow-cljs extern inference plus a simple node-module compilation lets advanced compilation and npm interop succeed. Builds a multi-column drag‑and‑drop using DND kit collision hook and iterates the placement algorithm live by inspecting event objects in the REPL. Uses Firebase emulators with snitch binding to namespace and runs a persistent node process via shadow-cljs runtime API to keep evaluation connected. Creates a Storybook-like component registry with a macro. Missing static types.
