- ClojureScript, Node.js & You?
- Getting Started with ClojureScript and Node.js?

# Abstract

Has 'JVMphobia' shied you away from learning Clojure?  Worry no more!  ClojureScript is a new compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript - and it runs in Node.js!  I know there are many different 'compile-to-JS' languages out there and you're probably wondering why this is different?  ClojureScript doesn’t cater to JavaScript developers at all. It caters to developers period.

This talk will introduce you to ClojureScript, the advantages to using a Lisp, and how many of the tools within it will make your next Node.js application even better!

# Details

* What is Clojure?
* What is ClojureScript? Differences between the two?
* Why you'd want to use it
  * Google Closure
  * Plugable libraries
  * JS interop

* Walkthru of how to use CLJS and Node.js together.


# Pitch

Over the past few months, I've been using ClojureScript heavily within a production application.  I want to share many of the great experiences that I've had working with it, and how it can bring great joy to the Node.js community.  I'll show you how easy it is to incorporate libraries, such as React.js, that you may already be using. I'll explain the major wins you get from using the Google Closure tools that are already included in ClojureScript.

I'll demo how all of these things and how ClojureScript can live inside a Node.js application. If you haven't taken a look at ClojureScript before, maybe now's the time!
