Anyone knows why the ClojureScript code has the same macros (repeat and all) in seperate files? Why can't everything be in the core.cljc file?

It was in order to get the CLJS REPL to feel more like the regular Clojure REPL: https://github.com/google/clojure-turtle/issues/15

The CLJS-macro story is still a little tricky -- CLJS targets the JS runtime, but you can't easily define macros in a self-hosted CLJS REPL (ex: one that you'd embed in a webpage). Lmk if there is a cleaner way now.

Awesome enhancement. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the clarification.
