I would guess, however, that any javascript that uses eval would not be compatible with Google Closure's advanced mode. You can't prune dead code from a code base that uses eval, because the eval'ed code has the potential to invoke any piece of every library out there.
If you want to spit fragments of compiled ClojureScript at a browser, as part of your development environment, I would look at how the REPL works now. There is probably incremental compilation going on there, and you should be able to modify the REPL to send the results of that incremental compilation to any connected browsers. If you find time to put something like that together, be sure to let us know how it goes. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
