This post is an accompaniment to my lightning talk at Clojure Exchange 2014 and is primarily a summary with lots of links to the libraries and technologies mentioned in the presentation.
The first step is to to use Wisp a compiler that can turn a Clojure syntax into pure Javascript, with no dependencies. Wisp will translate some Clojure idioms into Javascript but does not contain anything from the core libraries including sequence handling. Your code must work as Javascript.
One really interesting thing about Wisp is that it supports macros and therefore can support semantic pipelining with the threading macros. Function composition solved!
If you want the core library functionality the logical thing to add in next is a dependency on Mori which will add in data structures and all the sequence library functions you are used to with a static invocation style that is closer to Clojure syntax.
At this point you have an effective Clojure coding setup that uses pure Javascript and requires a 50 to 60K download.
However you can go further. One alternative to Mori is ImmutableJS which uses the JavaScript interfaces (object methods) for Array and Map. If you use ImmutableJS you can also make use of a framework called Omniscient that allows you develop ReactJS applications in the same way you do in Om.
ImmutableJS can also be used by TransducersJS to get faster sequence operations so either library can be a strong choice.
