A port of Clojure to JS would be interesting. Rich has expressed interest and Chouser's ClojureScript is a step in that direction.

It was primarily written as a critique of, IMO, the myopic rhetoric about JS and threaded vs evented server side programming to be found on main Node.js site. Node.js is a cool project targeted at a specific audience and Ryan seems to be a talented programmer. But to me Clojure provides all the benefits and none of the limitations so I felt compelled to blog about that. JS brought me to Lisp, I would love to see the Clojure community bring Lisp back to JS. However I fail to see what advantage JS gives on the server side. From what I've seen the V8 GC and Node.js have a considerable number of years to go before they are serious contenders against the JVM for non-trivial projects, evented or no. More interesting would be something along the lines of CoffeeScript (like ClojureScript) that takes a reasonable subset Clojure and compiles into efficient JS, allowing Clojure programmers to send Clojure code to clients.
