Looks like a lot of people are excited about this. For the specific purpose of cocoa apps, can someone explain how this is better/different than the other approaches?
There are at least 3 other projects that promise some kind of c/objective-c interop, https://github.com/takeoutweight/clojure-scheme, https://github.com/raph-amiard/clojurescript-lua, https://github.com/jspahrsummers/cocoa-clojure So it would be interesting to know what the pros and cons are (again, for the case making cocoa apps) On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 7:03 AM, Mark Probst <mark.pro...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Clojurians, > > I'm excited to announce ClojureC, an effort to produce a Clojure > implementation that targets C: > > https://github.com/schani/clojurec > > My personal goals with this are to be able to write self-contained > (command-line) Clojure programs that have (essentially) zero start-up time, > as well as to have a Clojure implementation that plays well with iOS (no > work on Objective-C bindings has been done so far, but I have plans...). > > So far the best overview of how far along ClojureC is is the test suite: > > https://github.com/schani/clojurec/blob/master/test/clojurec/core_test.clj > > as well as cljc.core: > > https://github.com/schani/clojurec/blob/master/src/cljc/cljc/core.cljc > > The ClojureC compiler as well as core.cljc are adapted versions of > ClojureScript's code.
