Why does this make your life easier than clojurescript?

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
ClojureScript is not executed on the JVM.
But it does have a fairly tight integration with clojure, and also uses the JVM-based closure compiler. However, I'd way rather see a clojurescript runtime for v8 than another language "inspired by" clojurescript.
Do you mean a ClojureScript compiler compiled to JavaScript? ClojureScript can be compiled and run in v8 just fine right now.

#17See also LispyScript (http://lispyscript.com/), “a JavaScript with Lispy syntax and macros”.
Like Ki, it requires inclusion of a standard library. Unlike Ki, it does not provide alternative data structures in addition to native JS values; it only uses native JS values. LispyScript also does not support embedded JavaScript or being embedded within JavaScript. But LispyScript currently has better docs, including a page to try it in the browser (http://lispyscript.com/tryit/).

I agree, LispyScript is very neat, closer to a full-fledged language than ki. On the other hand, ki is focused on ClojureScript's immutable data structures and related idioms - in fact it's just a thin layer around those.
