Yea, it looks like js-cl is more like it. You'd want to implement some reasonable subset of CL. And ClojureScript really didn't have to compromise on much, which is why it's been embraced so easily.

Most of the time you just have a .cljc file and pretty much the same exact code just works on both platforms. In a few places you'll use the #? reader macro that lets you do different stuff based on platform, and that's it.

Well, you basically get simple macros for free as long when you have an s-exp based notation for something. Which is why I do in fact like them. Something like Parenscript or Wisp is really great for lightweight websites.

I remember way back around 2010 or 2011 playing around with CL and Parenscript a bit and it looks like the landscape isn't too different today.
