There isn't enough officially supported first class tooling. Most things that are a given for Rust/JavaScript/Go are community maintained with only one maintainer in Clojure, development is slow and features take a long time

Can you add a flappy bird demo? I find that flappy bird demos for state-over-wire tech like LiveView and Blazor to be a great gauge for performance and latency. If there is the slightest delay or inconsistency in performance you will be abl
