This kind of thing is exactly what makes me think CLJS is the current frontrunner to be the first compile-to-JS language to gain mass adoption without JS-like semantics (as CoffeeScript has).
It's the performance.
So many of us who want JS alternatives have made our peace with the idea that we'll have to sacrifice a bit of performance if we want to use a nice language.
But being able to improve performance while using a nicer one?!
Count me in! I already have a serious project in mind for this.
For me, the non-idiomatic compiled JavaScript and Google's library that's stopping me. Wisp seems like a good solution with it being a Clojure dialect that provides super clean JavaScript that you can work with.
