'Hermetic' is an interesting word-choice, considering Clojure has a habit/raison detre of attaching to other host languages/ecosystems i.e. Jank (C++), ClojureScript (JS), Basilisp (Python), Phel (PHP), Babashka (general scripting), and of course, Clojure itself on the JVM.

Sure. But the other way around?

Why is there no JS client for datomic (that is not abandoned)?

    datomic =/= clojure

    Clojure doesn't have much manpower, being a niche language and all, so maybe that's where your impression comes from. It's hardly on purpose, and there's many examples of software that ships with another language as public API.

    Rama is written in clojure but the main api is java

    Klipse is written in cljs but is marketed as a "javascript library"

    Even Datomic maintains a java api
