What is ClojureScript?
ClojureScript is a compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript. It emits JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler. With ClojureScript, you write browser and web-based applications using Clojure and the REPL, allowing you to write the same Lisp syntax that you are used to in the Clojure ecosystem.

Top ClojureScript Alternatives
TypeScript
TypeScript is a free and open-source programming language created by Microsoft. The language is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript and redefines the way developer writes JavaScript-based web applications and software by adding optional static typing in the mix. TypeScript is designed specifically for development of large-scale applications with a need to transcompile into JavaScript.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. The language is mainly used to create complex features for web pages, but is also used other software project. Javascript has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions and is mostly just-in-time compiled.
Clojure
A modern, dynamic, and functional dialect of the Lisp and programming language that targets the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Clojure is a compiled language, yet remains completely dynamic as it combines the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. The development of Clojure is completely community-driven, while being overseen by its creator Rich Hickey.

What is WebAssembly?
WebAssembly or WASM for short, is an open standard and binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. WebAssembly run in all modern web browsers at near-native performance and provides languages such as C/C++ and Rust with a compilation target so that they can run on the web. The language is designed to run alongside JavaScript, allowing both to work together, while simultaneously redefining the web's capability.

Top WebAssembly Pros & Cons
Faster than JavaScript
WebAssembly's binary-instruction format designed to be faster than JavaScript and similar to that of compiled languages.
No DOM integration
Currently, WebAssembly has no DOM integration. To interact with the DOM, WebAssembly need to use JavaScript as a bridge.

AssemblyScript
AssemblyScript is a language designed for WebAssembly. AssemblyScript targets WebAssembly's feature set specifically, giving developers low-level control over their code. If you are familiar with TypeScript you will feel right at home as AssemblyScript is a variant of TypeScript that makes it easy to compile to WebAssembly without learning a new language.
