Also, I find the Google Closure library to be way too heavy for a transpiled language. It adds it's own library tools and separates itself from traditional JavaScript paradigms. Letting the transpiled language to do just that and doesn't impose it's own run-time restrictions would be perfect. After looking over Wisp real quick, it seems like it does just that.
I was pretty dissapointed with ClojureScript because it generates almost unreadable JavaScript; It includes an extremely heavy library that most people don't use and would never use; It depends on a lot of JVM specific things. For it to be a lot more successful as a compile-to-javascript platform it would need to move closer to native JavaScript than anything else.
