>Parenscript definitely isn't. It's a glorified s-exp notation for javascript.

It is not. Parenscript is a subset of Common Lisp that then gets translated to Js.

ClojureScript is also a subset of Clojure that runs on javascript.

> ClojureScript doesn't compile to plain js

How does it run on a javascript-enabled browser, then?

Yes, you could call both of them subsets. But one is so small that for most purposes is incompatible for anything but the simplest uses. While the other lets you run an almost identical codebase on two platforms. There are plenty of people who only ever write ClojureScript and couldn't care less about the JVM Clojure, because it really is that close.

And yes, as other mentioned js-cl is trying to do something similar, and I hope it works out!

Sorry bad wording on my part, was just reiterating the point that Parenscript maps closely to regular looking js, while cljs abuses js quite heavily.
