Re:React Server Side Rendering with GraalVM for Clojure

(#20384599)
What I like about Clojure is that it allows me to build things on top of both the Java as well as the JavaScript ecosystem while using a very well designed simple language that comes with a friendly very supportive community.
This means I benefit from a lot of the things that are going on in JavaScript and Java land over time like improvements in runtimes and libraries. Being able to use React from ClojureScript or being able to use GraalVM is actually a good example for this.
I do think that onboarding and figuring out what went wrong and why when you run into errors could be smoother. That said a lot of community effort is going into this recently.
In hindsight I wish I had looked into Clojure earlier.
