Honestly I hadn't yet given it any thought. Thanks for the interest in having it on Clojurescript. Here are a few issues that come to mind:
1. To achieve performance, I've spent time coding custom data structures that implement various Clojure and Java interfaces. I haven't done much with Clojurescript, but my impression is that the ecosystem of protocols is completely different, so I imagine that could be a pain to transfer over. 2. I don't know much about the performance of Javascript/Clojurescript's underlying data structures. For example, in Java, the substring operation used to be O(1), but recently, much to my dismay, they changed it to O(n). That change was annoying, and it means I'm going to have to rework some code to deal with that, but at least I heard about it and can take it into account. But in Javascript I don't even *know* the performance characteristics of its strings and substring operation. What other Javascript performance gotchas don't I know about? 3. I'm assuming that due to the above, it won't be as simple as just recompiling the code for Clojurescript. I have no idea what's involved with maintaining a code base for the two target languages simultaneously. Sounds non-trivial, although maybe it won't seem so intimidating once things have settled down and I'm not making quite so many performance tweaks and feature enhancements to the code. In any case, please add your request as a github issue, so I don't forget about it.
