Anyone care to compare this to Clojurescript?

ClojureScript is much more mature

See the author's comment from a previous discussion:

"ClojureScript tries to be Clojure, and Parenscript tries to be Common Lisp. Eslisp tries to be JavaScript; it's intended to just be an obvious one-to-one syntax replacement.

I wrote a brief comparison in the docs: https://github.com/anko/eslisp/blob/master/doc/comparison-to... "

I am definitely appreciating eslisp's almost one-to-one mapping to JavaScript. Finally I can program JavaScript with macros! I've searched for something like this before but didn't find it unfortunately.
