I understand some don’t like having a JVM, but for running in the browser, what does Jolt on Gambit offer over plain ClojureScript?

Oh I would definitely recommend ClojureScript or Squint for running in the browser. Using Gambit to compile to Js was really just an illustration of how Jolt has a portable layer that can be compiled to a completely different Scheme backend. I don't really intend to compete with the existing frontend solutions because you really want to keep your dialect as light as possible to minimize the size and friction with the existing Js ecosystem.
