Using backend languages for frontends: Why ClojureScript is an awesome idea!

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Claims that a single language can cover front and back ends with practical tooling: a live ClojureScript webshop uses re-frame + Reagent for event→effect→state→view flow, Shadow CLJS for compilation and Shadow CLJS hot-reload, and hiccup-style hiccup HTML for templates. Demo shows wiring of subscriptions, event handlers, and a working cart with add/remove and time-travel tracing in the browser. Notes include JVM/JS interop, a small community, and a warning about latency-sensitive, millisecond-scale performance.
