Hi,

I'm interested in this too. However, I have virtually no experience with 
Javascript. The place to begin the investigation, I think, is with the new, 
more general implementation of iPython notebooks, Jupyter 
(https://jupyter.org/). Note that there is even a Clojure kernel for 
Jupyter; thus the ability for users to run clojure notebooks. But that's 
not what I'm after. Like you, I'm interested in using Clojurescript in the 
notebook rather than Javascript as means to add custom capabilities. Since 
Clojurescript compiles to Javascript, I don't think getting things to work 
will be hard. There are a few jupyter project repositories (very active and 
probably not yet stable) for things that seem related. Take a look at the 
repositories under the jupyter project, https://github.com/jupyter , but 
note that many of these repositories are only a few weeks old. 

Regarding the old implementation of iPython notebooks, there is a bit of a 
tutorial on integrating notebooks with Javascript here 
: 
https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2013/06/01/ipython-notebook-javascript-python-communication/
 
 I tried it; it partially works. As the author points out, it is obsolete 
as of iPython 2.0. The current release of iPython is 4.0.0. So it is useful 
for thinking about the basic concepts.

Reading some of the developer discussion on jupyter, it appears that they 
are using a React-like framework called Phospor. This might be good for 
Clojurscript development, enabling easier use of figwheel (which I've read 
about, heard good things from other developers, but have not myself used 
yet.)

Hope that helps, 
  Peter
