> i believe [...] ClojureScript running on top of Node.Js be a better fit?
Why? Python is likely to be installed in far more environment than Node, and for scripting, Clj on top of Python provides the faster startup of Python interpreters without the callback spaghetti inherent to Node. Because even if Clojure(Script) handles functions better than Javascript (both in verbosity — fns are no more verbose than lets — and in its scoping handling) it's still callback spaghetti.
