I agree. The comments here make me think that the commenters don't know all of the extra ideas that Clojure brings besides a "different syntax" to Lisp. Even just for the immutable, persistent data structures that support value semantics (& distinguishing state from identity), ClojureScript ought to go a long way to helping write better code.

Note that most functions exposed by wisp do not mutate existing data structures and match clojure in behavior, it's just they use array's instead of vectors and dictionaries instead of maps. My hope is that it will imply same immutable style even if underlying data types remain mutable.

Worse is better.

Wisp, I guess provides readable js as opposed to compiled js. That's a win.
