That was also true of many languages early in the adoption curve. The difference is cljs is hosted on one of the most popular platforms on the planet, JavaScript, so it gets to play nicely (better?!) within that ecosystem.

When the boss asks "Why clojurescript?" You can say, "You don't like it? Ok, sure, I will throw away these twenty lines of cljs and replace them with JavaScript - that will take two hundred lines of fail and a week of debugging..." The resulting look is priceless... Did you know that the pointy hair looks the same whether it is coming towards you or walking away :-/

Take this with a wink and a nudge -- I'm likely to favor the javascript if its the case that you're my only developer who has mastery of cljs.

A few hours to rewrite your brilliantly concise bit of code is sometimes warranted to keep my technology stack easier-to-maintain from a personnel standpoint.

Well, find a job with JavaScript and then introduce ClojureScript to your team!

Depends where you are. I'm looking for a new job right now and have plenty clojure and clojurescript opportunities out there.

Wow, that must be nice :) I've never once seen a ClojureScript job post in the wild.

Many companies using Clojure are comfortable with remote work. A friend of mine recently started working at DilligenceEngine http://blog.diligenceengine.com/2014/08/12/were-hiring-for-t... and they use Clojure full stack with Om on the front-end. They're perfectly ok with working from home.

You can get JavaScript jobs where you only work on the front end (I have one) so it should be the same for ClojureScript. Maybe eventually it will be, but currently it doesn't seem like there are very many ClojureScript specific jobs.

ClojureScript is just another part of a typical Clojure stack. Yes ClojureScript job opportunities that don't involve Clojure are far more rare.
