It's a pretty good post, too bad about the title. I should give Closurescript a try. I don't necessarily agree with local modifications though, not unless it's absolutely obvious.

What's with the click bait title?

Total link-bait title. Better: "Porting Minecraft to ClojureScript". That's better, but still not entirely accurate since this is just a demo, not the full game.

This post seems to be a scam. The rather sensationalist claim in the title has nothing to do with the post, nor is it referenced at all. The post is mostly about reimplementing Notch's 'Javascript Minecraft Rendery Hack Thingy' in clojurescript; and the niceness of applying the Closure Compiler to reduce the size of the output.

At best, the author will later explain that they were conducting an A/B test of post titles and will later share with us the results of their experiment. As it stands, however, this seems to be simple link-bait.

Any headline which ends in an exclamation mark can be considered sarcasm.

Anybody else wants to ignore 4 other comments already about the "linkbait title" and add his?
