I did not downvote you, but I find your suggestion very amusing because it's so casually out of context.
Being Lisp does not make one Lisp family language replacement for other. Language feature list is not sufficient for comparing the similarity of languages. Clojure and CL are very different languages with very different programming styles. You might have suggested Javascript just as easily.
I still don't understand comparing Javascript to Clojurescript in terms of closeness to Common Lisp. Could someone explain what makes CL and Clojure so radically different?
They are about as similar as Python and Ruby. Everything from the names of operators to the stance on mutability, to the more obscure corners (Compiler macros, reader macros, etc).

For a person who played with lot of programming languages, but not many Lisps it makes sense. Thanks.
I didn't downvote you, but I'm honestly not interested in a non-Common Lisp in the browser. I suppose some zealot(s) downvoted you.
