This is a great step for ClojureScript. It's extremely difficult for a compile-to-JS language to bootstrap a large enough ecosystem to stand alone. A good interop story neatly sidesteps that issue.

That's very true, one of the key aspects that I use for picking a language is the huge ecosystem. Enough cannot be mentioned about the ecosystem of libraries and tools. With Clojure, you can leverage it to lift the heavy server-side stuff like Spark, Hadoop, and use the same syntax basically for the browser UI and mobile.
