Appreciate the pointer towards Lumo and Planck -- I've tried Lumo though not 
Planck.  I have used Clojurescript at work (not for scripting but for webapps) 
and it's been more challenging for me only because I am not as familiar with 
the Javascript ecosystem as I am the Java ecosystem.

What I've been hoping to do though is leverage a lot of the JVM Clojure code 
I've written in small CLI utilities.  I find that the library overlap between 
my Clojure and Clojurescript code in my usage is mainly of the 
plumbing/infrastructure variety (which is most useful) -- like 
EDN/transit/Sente/Timbre/Specter rather than the meat of what my apps are 
actually doing server-side.

As I write this it's dawning on me I could just expose my JVM Clojure code as 
services and figure out how to use Clojurescript from node.js...  it just 
sounds so much more complicated to me at the moment than something like the 
previously mentioned grench or even just interactive repl use (for simply 
exposing a function that say translates CSV data to something else) (and 
annoying if I'm trying to specify a local file reference etc).

I've been fairly content with my own interactive repl use for these things 
(convert this CSV file etc), but I don't think it translates to non-clojure 
developers and when I hand over instructions/procedures to folks I work with 
I'd like to give them something simple they can run from bash etc.  That's 
really where a lot of the startup costs are killer, you give something with a 
10-20 second startup time over to other teams and it only justifies their 
hatred of the JVM (I'd never tell them it was Clojure then the cat would be out 
of the bag :-)).

Anyhow I appreciate the response -- thanks!
