clojurescript is still pretty young. Error reporting is not where I expect most people would like to see it. This is a problem for all languages complied to js at the moment.
That said - you can get used to the situation pretty quickly, with a little patience and the occasional challenge. If you compile with pretty printing or simple optimisations - the code is relatively readable. At least enough to reference back to your source. If I have errors, I use the stacktrace which you can access easily in chrome for example to get my bearing and figure out what is going on. As I say, not Ideal - but you do get used to it pretty fast. I also use logging to trace activity if necessary. The above error is probably where you have used a variable which is undefined as a function.
