> ClojureScript is not that easy to integrate with the JS ecosystem. I know, there’s been a lot of improvements done in this space over the years, and I’m sure someone will immediately point me to relevant docs, but it’s still the extra mile you need to go when compared to regular JS codebase

This always kills me. Clojure(script) is one of the neatest languages I've ever used, but it is just such a pain to work with. I spent hours getting NPM imports working in a project, when it ought to take seconds. It really makes it hard to recommend, even though the language itself is amazing.

> Put another way, publishing via RSS does not enable much choice for the creator.

From a user's perspective, this lack of choice is great. You can listen to any podcast in any app, with minimally obnoxious skippable ads, limited tracking, no DRM, and no headaches.

I hope that Spotify's play to take over the podcast industry doesn't kill the open podcast ecosystem. It's one area where digital media seems to be working really well not just for listeners, but also for creators.

Podcasts almost seem like they come from a mirror-universe version of the internet where everything went as the crazy dreamers like Steward Brand had hoped. An open standard allows ordinary people to share what they're interested in and support each other. There's no algorithmic feeds to be found. People engage in long, humane discussions without shouting at each other. Weirdness flourishes. I wish more of the internet was like that.
