Is it full stack Lisp in the sense that Lisp is running on both the server and in the client (browser/mobile)?

If it is the latter, that would be quite compelling. Clojure/Clojurescript is quite compelling from a developer point of view, since you don't have to switch mental context to develop your server and client code (as you would have to do if you develop Go on the server and JS in the browser).

I don't know if it will be explained in the book, but you can generate javascript from Lisp, using parenscript.

Why is this on the front page of Hacker News? Isn't this an advertisement?

It's free online and has a github repo under MIT license as well... so yeah it's an advertisement but for something that you can get for free.
