I like ClojureScript and use it a lot lately. Sometimes however it feels a little distant from JavaScript at times. This can be frustrating at times. Wisp is somewhere between ClojureScript and JavaScript.

Of course this means that some of Clojure's features (protocols and lazy sequences, atoms, etc.) are not available. On the other hand there are not so many opaque layers between your code and the target code.

Granted feature-wise it might be more similar to a scheme, but Clojure Syntax is so much more readable and I do not see a point why it would not be a valid approach.

As a matter of fact I plan to provide protocols lazy sequences etc.. in form of (optional) libraries that can be included or omitted based on user use cases. I personally thing that most of these features are drawbacks when interacting with JS code, although I'd definitely used them in cases where interaction with JS is not a concern.
