The full differences between Clojure and ClojureScript are listed in detail here on the ClojureScript website.

According to that page, the primary differences lie in:

  • concurrent programming
  • hosting env (JVM vs a JS VM or Google's Clojure compiler)
  • numbers
  • characters
  • the read, and read-string methods are defined in a different place
  • load, and load-file only exist as special REPL functions
  • a few of the special forms aren't implemented
