Hey,

I'm starting to get the hang of Clojure(Script) and I'm really enjoying it. 
I'd love to use it for a project but I have one major concern: How reliable 
is {:optimizations :advanced}?

Advanced Compilation basically wins the whole argument for clojurescript 
but I managed to break it on a very simple project. I assume it broke 
because I tried to use jQuery and didnt stick to the closure library. The 
only reason I wanted to jQuery is because I'm very familiar with it (and 
javascript itself for that matter) and basically know nothing about 
closure, but I did some (rtfm closure) and managed to get it working 
without jQuery. Turns out you really dont need it.

So is it a fair assumption that as long as I stick to Closure Library + any 
ClojureScript itself I'm good on the :advanced part? I'm not interested in 
node.js as a :target, only the Browser. Falling back to {:optimizations 
:simple} really is not an option since the resulting javascript is way too 
big.

Cheers,
/thomas

PS:

My Experiments with jQuery:
http://www.zilence.net/cljs/index-dev.html
http://www.zilence.net/cljs/index-simple.html
http://www.zilence.net/cljs/index-advanced.html
https://github.com/thheller/cljs-experiments/blob/master/src-jquery/jqtest/app.cljs

The App is pointless and only tested in Chrome (firefox/ie dont like 
input[type='range']) but it should update the the input when you move the 
slider and update the slider when you change the input. dev/simple work 
fine, advanced breaks with some undebuggable error. I assume because the 
compiler optimized something away.

The Closure Version:
http://www.zilence.net/cljs/index-closure-advanced.html
https://github.com/thheller/cljs-experiments/blob/master/src-closure/ctest/app.cljs

Basically the same amount of code, so no reason to use jQuery. But I'd 
still be interested to know why the jQuery version breaks.
