TypeScript seems to have been attracting some srs engineering talent into the ecosystem. If your backend needs fit into the node.js box, TypeScript is pretty compelling as unifying front/back end language; at least as a starter pack.

I used TypeScripts for a few years in the past. That was before knowing about ClojureScript however :)

Having done projects in both languages the later is definitely much simpler and this translates into less code that does more. Its then much easier to maintain and add features.

Most of the JS/TS projects I see lose iteration speed over time, while CLJ/CLJS projects I see gain iteration speed over time.
