1. Clojure is a general purpose programming language. Just because it isn't used much for desktop GUIs doesn't mean it's not usable for that. What percentage of Java/Scala development is used for GUIs?
2. Clojure in iOS isn't just available via ClojureScript. There is also RoboVM, though it doesn't support REPL-driven development, if I understand it correctly.
3. I am very interested in what React Native can do. For me, the key questions about using it are: Can you create applications that fit will into the UX idioms of the host platform? What happens when something goes wrong? Do the various levels of indirection make debugging much more difficult? Do you still have access to the full platform? If not, then only certain classes of applications can be implemented using React Native.
