How to use ClojureScript practically? [closed]

Question

I am not getting the idea of ClojureScript. For example, I am writing a web application, and I need to write some javascript. Should I use ClojureScript which will generate the javascript for me? Looking for some guidance.

thanks

Answer 1

use it if

• you want to write desktop applications in clojure
• you want to write your entire webapp in clojure, front and back end
• you want to write for a JS based mobile platform like palm etc.
• you are die hard clojure fan... ;)
• you have some algorithm implemented in clojure that you'd like to leverage on a JS platform. (from stand)

Answer 2

I think ClojureScript shines if your application is a JavaScript-based Rich Internet Application. Think of GMail or Google Maps.

On a side note, ClojureScript competes with CoffeeScript.
