Hey, why convert at all? Just write new parts in ClojureScript and continue using the old JS bits. I mean ClojureScript gets compiled to Javascript anyways and its integration with JS is pretty solid. "require" is difficult to combine with CLJS but not impossible. Google Closure even has options for that although I never looked into it. Probably easier to annote the old code with goog.provide/goog.require statements. I'd think you'd run into alot of trouble trying to turn normal JavaScript code into CLJS by way of a tool due to the drasticly different code idioms used. Just my 2 cents. /thomas -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
