An adequate intro to ClojureScript

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript and brings Lisp syntax plus persistent immutable data structures; the talk shows a Leiningen template, Figwheel-powered REPL hot reload, and a tiny Reagent app that actually updates in the browser as code is edited. Examples include calling browser APIs from ClojureScript, using React wrappers, and small projects that work (a live-coded Web Audio demo and a browser game). The claim is practical: build, run, edit, and get immediate compiler feedback.
