I've picked a toy project jus to learn but the whole point is to develop larger apps. If it was just for a little app probably CoffeeScript would be a faster way to get into it, but I'm looking into larger apps and long term future. That's why (apart from the fact that I love the truly functional paradigm and lots of Clojure's innovations) I've decided to go the CLJS route. Hope it pans out ok although having some problems is expected, obviously. Thanks again for your input! It's good to know there are some "more than a toy" codebases out there which are getting developed ok.
