Joy: Web framework with Clojure syntax, fast startup and low memory usage

The major question is how Janet compares with clojurescript. A quick look it seems at least it is easier to setup. Anyone know how Janet cf with clojurescript.

There have been a couple of comments here asking a question like this, and it makes me realize that most people don’t actually know what clojurescript is.

Clojurescript is not some kind of scripting language on top of clojure, it is the clojure language that compiles to JavaScript, usually for running on the front end.

Being super pedantic (probably unnecessarily), it's the Clojure syntax for a subset of the Clojure language, plus some additional syntax and functionality specific to JavaScript interop.

Apples to oranges. Janet is like Python or Lua, it is a scripted interpreted language. It does not compile to JavaScript.

This is a backend web framework. Better comparison would be with Clojure+whatever they use for webservers over there.
