I use it for Wobaka[1]. It's 98% Clojure and ClojureScript with some bash added. I even use it for CSS with a beautiful library called Garden.
Extremely happy going with Clojure!

Nice project! I do wonder though if jsx is the best way to represent elements in code?
Clojure datastructures makes this so much more enjoyable. Everything is just basic lists and maps which makes it very flexible and powerful.
[:ul [:li "task 1"] [:li "task 2"]]
It's weird that it's not more common for making web apps.

AFAIK you should always leave space between floor and walls. As the material may grow/shrink with temperature etc. Very noticable in Sweden.

Good times! I really enjoyed making a 90s version of my startup's landing page:

Similar story. I'm also running my SaaS on Clojure and maintenance has been a dream compared to other languages. Things rarely break and are easy to upgrade.
Developer experience is fantastic too with HMR, REPL and cljc files. It's fun to write Clojure code :)

Any functionality that is tested :)

I haven't found that to be an issue. For small programs there's also babashka.

Why? Just curious. I've found the JVM to be surprisingly stable and great to work with.
