It doesn't.  ClojureScript currently uses the standard Clojure reader
and parts of the compiler.  This means, for example, that you can't
have a stand-along client-side repl.  The repl I use for testing
accepts a string from the user, sends it to the Java/Clojure server
for compilation to JavaScript, which is then sent back to the browser
for evaluation.

It would certainly be possible to port the reader and compiler to
JavaScript as well, but I'd question the utility of this.  The
browsers will always have faster and better support for reading JSON
than for reading Clojure s-expressions.  Is there something wrong with
JSON I'm not seeing?
