Hi Ben,
Thanks for your comment. I looked at Elm, ReasonML and somehow end up at the RealWorld app (github.com/gothinkster/realworld). I wrote first, an implementation of RealWorld in ClojureScript and then an article that compares Front-end frameworks (medium.freecodecamp.org/a-real-wor...). It turns out that Clojure is the most concise language out there. I see code as a liability - the more I write the more I need to maintain. Therefore the more expressive I can be with my building blocks (language) the happier I am. What I didn't know when I was doing this is that Clojure has amazing amount of very good ideas and learning the language helped me to become better developer. As for the background I'm a web dev with PHP, Ruby, and JS knowledge. Hope that helps!
