From the readme of the project:

> Clojure is a Lisp and as such comes with all the goodies Lisps provide. Apart from these Clojure also introduces powerful abstractions such as protocols, multimethods and seqs, to name a few. [...] It is fair to say that combining the power of the Erlang VM with the expressiveness of Clojure could provide an interesting, useful result to make the lives of many programmers simpler and make the world a happier place.

Also, at this point Clojure is becoming a kind of nice foundational language with multi-host targets. So if you know Clojure, you can now leverage the JVM, various JS runtimes, the CLR, now also the BEAM, etc. So there's that too. So basically, to someone already knowing Clojure it's a nice way to have access to more platforms.

There are a bit different due to the host environment.

Btw, use the iOS version a lot to learn
