That's no longer true. ClojureScript can now be self-hosted.

https://clojurescript.org/guides/self-hosting

[Edit to correct: the following is no longer entirely valid: see downthread.]

That said, if you want to benefit from the Google Closure optimizations, you currently do need to use the JVM toolchain. IIRC, there's been work on the Google Closure side to run without a JVM, and if that's the case, there may be opportunities in the future to take advantage of this in the ClojureScript toolchain.

Lumo took advantage of that already according to https://anmonteiro.com/2017/02/compiling-clojurescript-proje...

Thanks for the link. I expected it was just a matter of time!
