cljs-in-cljs from 2012

As a point of reference, https://github.com/kanaka/clojurescript is a previous project to bootstrap the ClojureScript compiler. It is fairly dated since it was forked from the main tree on Nov 16th, 2012, however, it was self-hosting and allowed for a fully browser-based REPL (original version of http://clojurescript.net/). A presentation of the project from Clojure West 2013 is here: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/cljs-in-cljs
