Is it still relevant and updated nowadays? IIRC that one's been around for at least a decade already.
The only downside is the compiler itself runs on the JVM, and most developers ostensibly prefer a single platform. Given how much other software you need to make a development environment work, this seems silly to me.
Google also doesn't really advertised the use of Closure, you have to go out of your way to find it in their developer website or google it to find it. It's really just an internal tool.
They break backwards compatibility in the Closure Library so much that projects that adopted Closure (like Clojurescript), are stuck with a library from 2017. The project is maintained only to serve Google.
Is that the case? The current version of ClojureScript depends on org.clojure.google-closure-library 0.0-20191016 – I know it's a fork, but I'm not sure to what extent it is being synced with upstream.
