Master the art of agile single page web application development with ClojureScript

JavaScript is everywhere. The language was originally designed to permit non-
programmers to add dynamic flairs to a new-fangled thing called a webpage. Two decades
after its introduction, JavaScript has grown into a versatile, expressive, and complicated
language—the most recent ECMAScript standard rivals the Java 1.8 language specification
in terms of page count!
Yet in many ways, JavaScript still represents an older way of doing things. Nowadays,
many industrial programmers are finding their way to functional programming. While
JavaScript has some nice functional features, it lags far behind even the most recent decade
of functional programming best practices.
Enter ClojureScript!
First released in 2011, ClojureScript has grown into an essential tool for the discerning
programmer, who would love to tap into the reach offered by JavaScript, while leveraging
some of best designed immutable datastructures and functional APIs in existence.
Importantly, ClojureScript delivers these affordances without getting in the way of tight
integration with the JavaScript host.
You can program webpages, iPhones, Androids, and Node.js, all using the same powerful
Lisp programming model pioneered by John McCarthy so many years ago.
