Congrats on the book. ClojureScript syntax looks very unappealing for me though. Not something I would ever try.

Thanks! I understand that it is not for everyone, but personally, I was really surprised how quickly I got past the syntax and even grew to appreciate it.

I really wish that other languages would enable hyphens in identifiers. Seeing things-like-this is so much nicer than thingsLikeThis or other things_like_that.

It takes a couple of days (max a month) to get used to the LISP syntax used by ClojureScript. That's not a good reason for not trying this beautiful language.

You’d be surprised. It’s actually really nice. You can create your own small blocks and resuse/build upon.... it’s good.
