Really? This is pretty much bearable is not that bad as you make it sound. Is not really unmaintainable and horrible unless the code-base doesn't has a defined specification through variables and guide lines.

Clojure 1.8 11 years ago

Congratulation, Clojure get better and better with each release.

I use Clojure which have a repl base workflow, I never need to compile anything to test my code and the feedback is instant.

I never said that invented anything, just that its ideas have reached others communities (invented originally by it or not)

Go is one of the simplest languages in existence

Are you saying that is simple because:

1) Is so anemic and have a relatively small specification?

2) Let you solve problems in the most simple ways?

I could (maybe) kinda agree if you refer to 1...kinda.

Well React approach of composition has reach even others programming languages and communities and with things like redux and react-hot-loader is a game changer.

I consider LighTable as the most user friendly Clojure/Clojurescript editor at the moment, for beginners is really great, you need you install it and easily you have everything to start working with Clojure. I even can imaging myself using it for moderate size Clojure projects. But is you really need something more powerful I think Cursive or Emacs are good options.

"Is this such a bad thing to keep things simple?"

And you are claim that your way is simpler? To me all the thing that you rant about are just different. If things with the web rendering would started with the front-end instead the back-end, then you would be ranting the same stuff on the opposite side and you would be saying that SPA are simpler.
