Check out the screencast that demonstrates the Ymacs based in browser IDE. Really cool stuff!

Any sufficiently complicated [...] program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

Just because it's about lisp and is on wikipedia, doesn't mean it is true.

This statement basically tries to bully-argue that LISP is the best language EVAR.

...and that's how the Lisp community seemingly ends up arguing, despite their super high IQs. They could argue with practical software achievements, since they've had about 50 years to do so, but the language hasn't seemed to produce much beyond a fancy text editor.

Check out clojurescript also

Separate function/variable namespace (that might be a “misfeature”, depending how you look at it).

I'm thankful for the sincerity :D

Any particular reason for making another dialect of Lisp, rather than just implementing an existing one?

It appears to be a partial implementation of CL, with some omissions due to performance. At least that's what I gathered from implementation notes.
