It does seem that the internet ecosystem is settling down rather
nicely, with emphasis on standards (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, RDF

use Clojure server-side (it compiled to JVM byte code) and
ClojureScript client-side (it compiles via Google Closure to
optimized, minimized JavaScript). But then, paraphrasing a popular
Ruby article from half a dozen years ago, I can see how "JavaScript is
an Acceptable Lisp". And with a more open ecosystem, I don't have to
choose what is an "Acceptable Lisp", but write in whatever language
that gets compiled to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, RDF.
