A comment on Reactive Clojure: A web language.

This syntax is insanely hard to read, is non-standard, and is unclear what is server side and what is client side processed without purple and red highlighting.

Maybe I’ve been in Node.js land too long, but I don’t get why this is better for my productivity or my ability to create efficient web apps.

It's not hard to read, but it's just that you aren't used to it. Try Clojure without this "hard to read" mindset and see how great Lisp as tools are!

Definitely will give it a go when I have some free time!

Also, I can’t edit it right now, but would like to apologize for saying it’s “insanely hard to read”. That was rather harsh and uncalled for.
