Not bad, just not useful. Can't ignore the web.

It's kind of a big leap to go from "This is not a strict subset of JavaScript" to "You're ignoring the web." If you really want to deal only with JavaScript-native data structures, I can't see any reason why you couldn't deserialize EDN into those. If you really like the added data structures in EDN and don't want to lose those in your JavaScript program, you could just use Mori or something similar.
