There have been a couple of comments here asking a question like this, and it makes me realize that most people don’t actually know what clojurescript is.

Clojurescript is not some kind of scripting language on top of clojure, it is the clojure language that compiles to JavaScript, usually for running on the front end.

Being super pedantic (probably unnecessarily), it's the Clojure syntax for a subset of the Clojure language, plus some additional syntax and functionality specific to JavaScript interop.
