I'm a fan of clojurescript - it's great to bring some of the power of clojure to the browser - compile-time macros, efficient immutable data types, asynchronous programming a-la goroutines. It's still definitely a niche language - I'd mostly use it if I had a team who already know clojure, or if I needed something quite complex in the browser. But tools like om which provide a functional wrapper around React are looking awesome, and might give clojurescript some more widespread appeal.
