Fun! I use Rust at work, and have always enjoyed tinkering with lispy languages, such as Racket, Guile, Clisp, etc... But Clojure is one I never really got into because I don't like how closely it's tied to the Java ecosystem. This definitely makes it more appealing to me.

Clojure has an official JavaScript port named ClojureScript for running in the browser, which should serve as a good case study for how and to what degree the language is runtime-independent.

  Is that supposed to be more attractive? I'll take Java over JavaScript and something else over both.

    It's supposed to allow you to use the same language on the front that you do on the back.
