Thank you, Alex. That makes total sense now.

[ClojureScript] Re: How is Clojure loaded by java from cljs.jar?

[Alex Miller]

cljs.jar is self-contained (includes its dependencies) and includes Clojure 
itself (including clojure.main).

The cljs.jar is built using this script:

https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/master/script/build

You can walk through that process to learn more if needed.
