I believe this is because the `type` function returns a type's constructor function in JavaScript parlance. You can find `type` here.
https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/2fa41e7969d22f72876122d2250baf4ef936e6e9/src/main/cljs/cljs/core.cljs#L250-L254 Under the hood, transit-cljs uses transit-js as you can see here, https://github.com/cognitect/transit-cljs/blob/master/src/cognitect/transit.cljs#L110 And the constructor function for a UUID in transit-js looks like https://github.com/cognitect/transit-js/blob/620906704f9f6904745895878ad3228607836d31/src/com/cognitect/transit/types.js#L248-L252. I would guess that you are getting back the com.cognitect.transit.types.UUID type and not the clojurescript version of a UUID. When you create a UUID in the repl you are of course getting the cljs version UUID. However, I just started to understand transit so I maybe wrong. Hope this helps.
