		damethos on Oct 21, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: We have used too many levels of abstractions This comment makes no sense to me. How is Clojure a layer of abstraction that had to be removed and replaced with Java? What do you think that Clojure was abstracting exactly? Same question for Typescript. In fact, Typescript is a layer on top of Javascript so I could say that you actually added one more here.

Even worse, he ultimately replaced clojurescript with typescript. Both are just JS transpilers.
