ClojureScript will enrich your mind but at some point you might get tempted, as I have, to switch to ES6/7 via the Babel route and enjoy the benefits of a much more diverse ecosystem, with your ClojureScript-enhanced perspective. Same with Elm and Haskell and prefty much any language wortg learning. In fact, learning a new language esp one drom a different world will always expand your horizon and I can't over recommend ClojureScript as one of those enlightenment languages.



I switched to using ClojureScript in prod last year and couldn't be happier. The Js interop is great, ClojureScript is fast, and the runtime is pretty small. I simply can imagine any reason to bother with ES6/7 at this point as they will offer nothing that's not already available in ClojureScript right now.

You also get a clean and well designed language as opposed to a mountain of kludges that is current state of Js https://twitter.com/capotej/status/677926991513780225
