As a JS programmer with some Clojure experience I can confirm that the JVM is absolutely the biggest turn-off for me personally. Lisp syntax, immutable data structures, laziness, all splendid. The build/runtime environment, not so much.

Sounds like I should revisit CLJS based on your comment.

Well at the moment, the tooling is all lein/JVM based.

That said, Figwheel hooked up with atom+protorepl+parinfer is pretty amazing if you haven't tried it.

Parinfer is a huge game changer. Everyone afraid of writing lisp needs to try again using parinfer.
