||
## The answers | ||
|
||
1. What does the type system look like? **Dynamic** | ||
|
||
Derived from Clojure but with a few differences. Supports immutable, persistent | ||
collections. | ||
[[1]](https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Differences-from-Clojure#data-structures) | ||
|
||
2. Is there a stable version? **Sort of** | ||
|
||
1.8.40 is described as a "stable release" but it's nothing more than the latest | ||
cut from master. The numbering aligns with the Clojure version. | ||
|
||
3. Is it under active development? **Yes** | ||
|
||
The latest version was released in March 2016. The number of commits has | ||
dropped in recent months. | ||

|
||
4. What is its [bus factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor)? **Small** | ||
|
||
Development relies pretty heavily on the work of | ||
[David Nolen](https://github.com/swannodette) but it was originally created | ||
by Rich Hickey and is supported by the Clojure/core team. | ||

|
||
5. Does it support Dead Code Elimination? **Yes** | ||
|
||
Through Google's Closure library. | ||

|
||
6. How many libraries have been written or ported to it? | ||
7. What is the size of the runtime? | ||
8. Is it easy to integrate with the front-end toolchain (webpack, browserify, etc...)? | ||
9. Is it easy to integrate with JS libraries (ffi, definition file, etc...)? | ||
10. Is the language consistent? | ||
11. Is the output readable? | ||
12. How difficult is to hire a developer? |
