The Eve language is an offshoot of what started as LightTable, which was heavily focused on Clojure/Clojurescript.
Interesting that Clojurescript was not the language of choice here, both given the roots of that project and the reputation of lisps for being languages to write other languages.
I wonder if the team would be willing to comment on why they are moving away from Clojurescript?
