As the author of said libraries, I'd love to see somebody pick them up during GSoC and continue the work.
The reason why development seems to have stalled, is different for each library: - tools.analyzer and tools.analyzer.jvm are pretty much done and stable, all that's left to do is fixing a couple of bugs around reflection and investigate performance enhancements - tools.analyzer.js has stalled around a year and a half ago, I simply couldn't keep up with the development speed of clojurescript while also maintaining 5 other contrib libraries - tools.emitter.jvm has stalled around the same period, since I decided that my time would be best spent maintaining libraries that have actual real world use rather than an experimental compiler :) this is not to say that it's an abandoned project, just that it's now very low priority for me. If anybody wants to pick up some work around tools.analyzer.js or related to tools.analyzer, I'd be more than happy to help them through, although I can't commit to the role of a proper GSoC mentor Nicola > On 22 Feb 2016, at 10:57, Thomas Heller <th.hel...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Projects for this already exist but are somewhat dormant. > > See: > https://github.com/clojure/tools.analyzer > https://github.com/clojure/tools.analyzer.jvm > https://github.com/clojure/tools.analyzer.js > https://github.com/clojure/tools.analyzer.clr > https://github.com/clojure/tools.emitter.jvm > > Neither Clojure or ClojureScript currently use them since they are either > incomplete or have performance issues compared to the default implementation. > The idea was however to have a pluggable solution that can share as much code > as possible.
