There may be other techniques that give you better answers here, but
regarding your real stumbling block issue of namespaces keywords, not that
both Clojure and ClojureScript let you write namespaced keywords using
short alias names that you pick, without having to type out the full
namespace name. For example:
% clj -Sdeps "{:deps {org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version
\"1.9.946\"}}}" -m cljs.repl.node
cljs.user=> (require '[clojure.string :as str])
nil
cljs.user=> ::str/foo
:clojure.string/foo
cljs.user=> (= ::str/foo :clojure.string/foo)
true
