Clojure has a specification language that can express more and less things than a type system can and runs on mobile web desktop with flexible choices for run times

Good luck untangling re-native built on re-frame built on Reagent built on shadow-cljs built on React native built on React built on Android/iOS when one of those parts change.

You make it sound like more of a tower than it actually is. It's just ClojureScript to React Native. All the others are simple frameworks and build tool to help you scaffold.

so in that equation applies to all of JS transpilers. Why this a clojurescript specific complaint?
Re:Google Feedback on TypeScript 3.5 by cutler on Monday September 09, 2019 @08:08PM (#20923894)
Because Clojurescript adds at least another 3 layers of indirection.

that can express more and less things

So which is it? ;)

Not OP, but I'm guessing they meant it can express more, but it can statically type check less. Since Clojure's system is a runtime contract and not a static type checker.
