It's no longer impressive to simply transpile a language to JavaScript. Not in the age of webassembly. The first big question is how big is the payload on the JavaScript side? Is there a large "runtime" embedded even for the smallest pay load? Your competing with Svelte

I'm with you. Translate to javascript is just a means to use Common Lisp on browser.

The valtan footprint is one of the challenges. Currently the output size of JS will be several MB. Clojurescript can be reduced to several KB by using the closure compiler, so I would like to refer to this.
