    Piling a bunch of redundant libraries on top of each other, becoming confused, and drawing the conclusion that functional programming was the problem? Okay.

    The article seems hopelessly tautological. One of the arguments for Clojurescript is that it "is a functional programming language," with the reasoning that this makes functional programming easier. The author then goes on to answer - and I quote - "Why isn’t it popular?" with "Not popular enough." I am thoroughly enlightened.

    Functional programming in javascript is an antipattern instead use clojure. LOL if I were going to use a ??? -> js, I would at least use fable/reason. I have tried to get into lisp several times and then tried once to get into OCaml/F# and it was effortless.
