EDIT: HN title said Compiler, article says Library.
The title didn't say compiler, it just said "Google Closure". The article I linked to is very clear that it's about the library.

This is not about maintaining compatibility with a Java version. As you can read in the post, Java 21 will be the minimum required Java version even. It's about the Google Closure Library on which many ClojureScript programs depend.
> We are working on restoring that original stability. With this release, you’ll find that quite a few old ClojureScript libraries work again today as well as they did 14 years ago.
> ClojureScript is and never was only just for rich web applications. Even in the post React-world, a large portion of the web is (sensibly) still using jQuery. If you need robust DOM manipulation, internationalization, date/time handling, color value manipulation, mathematics, programmatic animation, browser history management, accessibility support, graphics, and much more, all without committing to a framework and without bloating your final JavaScript artifact - ClojureScript is a one stop shop.
