Brings Emacs-style scripting to VSCode with Clojure
From 3 comments
Wow, really excited by this! The Calva extension gave us a really nice editing and REPL experience for Clojure code. Now we get to interactively configure VSCode with Clojure…

Non-JavaScript language support beyond JS/TS
From 2 comments
Nice! I really wish we could have a CLJS -> JS compiler in pure JS (something like TypeScript) and no need for JVM or JVM libs.

I am certain that this is excellent work. I, however, will continue using Emacs.
