Clojure as a Javascript generator

(written by lawrence krubner, however indented passages are often quotes). You can contact lawrence at: lawrence@krubner.com, or follow me on Twitter.

I am surprised by the continued rise of Javascript, a somewhat flawed language that has now become a universal target for dozens of other languages. I am stunned by the thought that creating Javascript might become the “killer app” that brings Clojure into the mainstream.

I was highly resistant to learning ClojureScript, but I want to experiment with LightTable, so I guess I need to learn ClojureScript (which I gather is the language for writing plugins for LightTable).
