That still does not allow you to do anything you couldn't do via the ns form directly. require outside ns is a misleading topic and is still completely static. It was just added to allow compiling scripts that don't have a ns form. You still can't do conditionals or run any other code inbetween them.
The reason that dynamic require is not possible in CLJS is that there is no sync/blocking IO in Browser JS. In Clojure you can simply do the work and return once everything is loaded properly. In JS you can't do that because you have to go async/non-blocking for the IO to load the files. So all of the remainder of the program would continue running and loading only start once the program yielded control back to the runtime. In addition to that the Closure Compiler doesn't really support dynamic requires in :advanced optimizations.
