I've used MooWheel [1] in the past to visualize Twitter connections.
It looks quite nice but the library is getting a bit old and it would be good to see a more modern implementation of it.

Question: Does anybody have experience on using C2 vs. D3 with Clojurescript on a production-level application? I have only toyed with C2, but not to the level to which I'm confident on pros and cons, and whether the pros are really pros on the long term...
Anything that isn't JavaScript is a rounding error. But that doesn't mean ClojureScript isn't viable: ~4000 Github stars, ~1200 subscribers to the mailing list, ~100 contributors, ~900 closed issues, ~170 daily lurkers on IRC, and probably the most comprehensive source mapping support of any compile to JavaScript language out there.
People use it happily in production. In the end that's all that really matters.
That was also true of many languages early in the adoption curve. The difference is cljs is hosted on one of the most popular platforms on the planet, JavaScript, so it gets to play nicely (better?!) within that ecosystem.
When the boss asks "Why clojurescript?" You can say, "You don't like it? Ok, sure, I will throw away these twenty lines of cljs and replace them with JavaScript - that will take two hundred lines of fail and a week of debugging..." The resulting look is priceless... Did you know that the pointy hair looks the same whether it is coming towards you or walking away :-/
Take this with a wink and a nudge -- I'm likely to favor the javascript if its the case that you're my only developer who has mastery of cljs.
A few hours to rewrite your brilliantly concise bit of code is sometimes warranted to keep my technology stack easier-to-maintain from a personnel standpoint.
Many companies using Clojure are comfortable with remote work. A friend of mine recently started working at DilligenceEngine http://blog.diligenceengine.com/2014/08/12/were-hiring-for-t... and they use Clojure full stack with Om on the front-end. They're perfectly ok with working from home.
You can get JavaScript jobs where you only work on the front end (I have one) so it should be the same for ClojureScript. Maybe eventually it will be, but currently it doesn't seem like there are very many ClojureScript specific jobs.
