Hi Colin,
CLJX definitively does the job but at the price of being very brittle and
having to juggle with paths and classpaths. Also this is a leaky hack as
you have to make all tooling aware of it (editor, nrepl, ..). It usually

I didn't ask for feature expressions in the survey, but I've been wishing
for a better way for writing cross-target code, especially libraries.
I've never quite managed to bring myself to develop with cljx - I love it
as a consumer of libraries, but I haven't quite managed to make it wo

I apologize if this is naïve and/or incomplete; I'm very new to Clojure.
Would a better solution be to use something closer to protocols and
multimethods, where functions could be "polymorphic" by platform rather
than polymorphic by arguments?
This would make it open for users to add support for p
Feature expressions would allow for this by allowing you to define the
function multiple times, once per platform. Something like this (cljx) code:
#+clj (defn foo [] (println "Clojure implementation")
#+cljs (defn foo [] (js/console.log "ClojureScript implementation")

Ah, OK. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

I agree - I once modified a clojure library, using cljx, to make it
