I am still learning FP and originally I was only looking at server side languages as I felt Javascript already lets me write code in an FP manner. It was after I read SwannOdette's blogs posts on ClojureScript and CSP that I started getting really excited about it. Couple that with Om and Flux, I think I would love writing apps that way. Meaning I was already sold on the potential of ClojureScript/CSP before even watching this presentation.

My dissatisfaction wasn't with ClojureScript but with the presentation. Given that I saw the presentation out of context (I don't know who the audience at the goto; conference was supposed to be - experienced FP developers looking to move to web or existing js web developers looking for something better). Purely from the presentation, I (who belongs the latter) wasn't really sold on anything. Maybe I wasn't the group being targetted.

Finally, I didn't watch the presentation because it was presented by David (I didn't who he was), I watched it for the title. It wasn't till midway through the presentation I realized SwannOdette is actually David. And that surprised me a lot cuz his blog posts are really good, and as I said really sold me on considering ClojureScript. I didn't intend to pick on David, maybe he just had a sub-par day. Especially after knowing David=SwannOdette :)
