Google stopped contributing to Google Closure Library (GCL) last
28+
August. As far as ClojureScript was concerned, the stability of GCL
29+
had declined significantly over the past 5 years with an increasing
30+
amount of churn as Google sorted out their internal JavaScript
31+
strategy.
32+

We have forked Google Closure Library and have taken up maintenance.
34+
The very first changes made were simply backing out breaking changes
35+
to GCL which have no benefit for ClojureScript and aligning the
36+
codebase with the most recent Google Closure Compiler.
