it's really unfortunate clojurescript is not written in javascript (or clojurescript, like coffeescript compiler is written in coffeescript ). I wanted to integrate a lisp to a toy jsbin app (https://mparaiso.github.io/playground/), but no way, right now i'm using outlet. See the use case? clojurescript is never going to be big in javascript land if one cant compile it in the browser.

I agree that a self-hosting ClojureScript compiler is desperately needed and highly desirable.

We'll get there (we're not so far as it is), but it's just not high enough on anyone's priority list yet.

Looking forward to that. I'm a JS dev who learned Clojure through Clojurescript (and D.Nolen's blog). In trying to entice my colleagues to try it, the JVM bit seems to be a bit of a barrier... but the LightTable development loop blows them away.
