Four reasons, all interrelated. Whether they're good reasons, I'm not 100% positive, but felt this was the way to go:
*1.* The "coffee-script" package on npm is one of my favorites, and was the inspiration for my "clojure-script" package. Thus, I wanted the package names to resemble one another. *2. *The npm package and the language it facilitates are two different things. So that way someone can say, "I'm having an issue with clojure-script," and mean they're having trouble with my package and not with the language itself. *3.* From its early days, the npm registry only supports lower case package names, e.g. no camel case. So putting a "-" between "coffee" and "script" makes the "coffee" pop out in the text-heavy pages of the npm website. The same goes for "clojure-script". *4. *I felt weird about calling my GitHub repository "michaelsbradleyjr/clojurescript", since it's really a distinct project from ClojureScript the language. So I named it "node-clojurescript". However, it's officially not recommended to npm-publish packages with names that include the word "node", since that' redundant. But for the same reasons I didn't want to name my repository "clojurescript", I chose a package name that would implicitly indicate that "clojure-script" is a distinct entity from ClojureScript the language.
