That's a good question. Namespaces in ClojureScript are mainly a compile-time concept. By the time you're running in JavaScript, real namespaces are gone and all you've got are JS objects full of object, functions, etc, so you can do some amount of "introspection" there. Along with namespaces disappearing by runtime, all aliases have been expanded so the short names won't be available there. *ns* only has meaning at compile time in Clojure, and ClojureScript is the same -- macros can use *ns*, but it's pretty much meaningless by runtime.
