Hi, I love ClojureScript and routinely recommend it to people in the supermarket. With that said, in the context of a backend service these are some of the things that I would miss from Clojure:
1. Rock solid dependencies for doing all the operations you describe. I've found the JVM ecosystem more reliable. 2. Maven/lein as the package manager vs npm (which is practically unavoidable for a complex app). 3. Clojure has support for a number of concurrency constructs. ClojureScript is built on a single threaded host, and thus can either use callbacks (like Node does) or CSP which is in my opinion much better, but it is not always a good fit either. As you may have noticed by now, the differences are about Java vs Node, which make sense since ClojureScript deviates from Clojure mostly in those aspects.
