It's a PLM/ERP type app for electronics — https://partsbox.com/ Drawbacks, hmm — I'm not sure, really, there is no silver bullet, and I can't see significant problems with the language itself that another language would magically solve. I'm pretty happy with Clojure and ClojureScript and some advantages are hard to replicate elsewhere (such as business logic code being written only once and then shared between Clojure and ClojureScript). One thing I noticed is I got spoiled by Rich Hickey solving problems for me, and I'd really like him to continue doing so. For example, transducers and core.async were great, but spec isn't quite finished yet. Also, reporting status and anomalies (as in, status of operations, computations, including errors/exceptions) and passing it through channels or foreign encodings is a problem I had to solve myself. I'm pretty sure Rich could come up with a better solution. The biggest problems that I encounter everyday are not with the language itself, but with the ecosystem. Many libraries could use more maintenance. And the really big problems aren't language-related at all. For example, RethinkDB shutting down. I also wish I didn't have to write the full FoundationDB integration ("language binding") myself.
