I can't reply to the thread on the Dev list, but here's my take. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me that most these issues could be resolved by having a dynamic var that gets set during macro expansion according to the target platform. For instance, *compiler-target* is set to :clj or :cljs, depending on whether we're compiler for the JVM or Javascript. If we want to be a little more sophisticated, *compiler-target* could be a set whose members are the same keywords that were "active" at read-time. That would have the additional convenience that *compiler-target* would act as a predicate, indicating whether a particular "feature" is available for the target platform.
Then if a macro needs to be expanded in a certain way for certain platforms, it can just consult *compiler-target*. Anyway, that's my 2-cents.
