Discussion on: What was your first programming language and why?

[Seth Corker]

Awesome stuff, is ClojureScript a new addition to the stack? What's your favourite feature of Clojure that makes you more productive?

[Felix Wittmann]

• The fast feedback because I can easy evaluate my cljs forms in the browser (nodejs) environment. I test my code (functions) while I am developing.

figwheel and shadow-cljs are very great!

I think the immutable nature of clojure's datatypes is one point why this works.

• the good interoperability with the javascript language

• the simplicity of the language. I'd like e.g. purescript too. But often you fight with the type system and forget to solve the problem first.
