Did you consider ClojureScript and V8? Are there downsides to ClojureScript that would lead you to use Clojure instead?

How does it compare to ClojureScript?

Have you taken a look at ClojureScript? You might find it interesting.

didibus • Nov 30, 2019 • View on HN

ClojureScript is a Clojure to JavaScript compiler implemented in Clojure. I think that ticks the box.

How does it compare to ClojureScript on Node.js?

bayesian_horse • Feb 20, 2022 • View on HN

Maybe ClojureScript is an alternative.

bgorman • Jan 18, 2020 • View on HN

Why not Clojurescript? It has access to the whole JS ecosystem.

Like JavaScript? Use JavaScript. Don't like JavaScript? Use ClojureScript. Problem solved :)

chrisseaton • Nov 2, 2017 • View on HN

ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript doesn't it? And isn't ClojureScript written in ClojureScript? So why would you need a JVM in the first place? What is new?

HackerDre • Jun 28, 2017 • View on HN

Why would someone use this instead of ClojureScript? Unless they're a Scala expert
