I recommend reading up on WebAssembly, a good place to start might be https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FAQ.md#is-webassembly-only-for-cc-programmers/
In those three paragraphs, it is pretty clear that, at least as it stands now, wasm is much closer semantically to actual asm than the jvm. A whole host of facilities that you get both by running on the jvm, and by compiling to javascript (garbage collection, types, etc) are not available. No existing Clojure, ClojureScript, or some derivative there of delivers those things themselves, they all build on some existing runtime's facilities.
