I'm skeptical of any framework that brings its own new syntax. That means an enormous additional overhead of documentation, support, and dev tool integration, which doesn't tend to go well without a critical mass of end-users.

What's weird to me about this one is that it's "with Clojure syntax" but isn't just a ClojureScript library? I guess the Lisp syntax makes the parsing step easy, at least.

The framework is not using its own syntax, it is the syntax of Janet. It has Clojure syntax because it's written in Janet which is a Clojure inspired Lisp.

Gotcha. Should've read more closely.
