This feature is really, really a long time coming. Myself and other ClojureScript core contributors are happy to answer any questions people may have.
any stats on how many of the top X npm packages get through the Closure compiler unscathed?
ClojureScript Is Not An Island: Integrating Node Modules

Re: ClojureScript Is Not An Island: Integrating Node Modules
#42The thing I like about Clojurescript is the ability to escape the node/NPM ecosystem entirely. It's feature, not a bug, that I don't want to interoperate with node/NPM.
I would say you are in a distinct minority here with that viewpoint :) I've been using / working on ClojureScript since the very beginning and the halfway integration with Node and NPM never seemed particularly desirable to me.
I hear you, David, and completely understand your point of view. And let me take this moment to say how much your work is loved and admired. I agree I am in the minority. And I also understand why people love a language like JavaScript: they love it so much that they routinely compile it back into JavaScript before running it o_0 ;)

#43I just want to thank the Clojure(Script) team for such an amazing work. It really is a joy to work in Clojure(Script) and improvements like this make it an even better tool to work with.
Keep up the good work!
