I don't know Clojure or PHP completely fluently, so sorry if it's a stupid question, but why did you want to create a new language inspired by Clojure rather than a dialect of Clojure itself for PHP (in the same way as there is ClojureScript for JS and Clojure.NET for .NET)?
I'm working on building a good language to target the PHP environment. There are a lot of feature that I can borrow from Clojure but not all of them are need. At some points I even go in another direction. I want to keep this freedom in order to build the best language that targets PHP.
