Exactly. I need it to be small, lightweight and produce small readable Javascript. I don't want Javascript code to behave like Clojure, on the contrary -- I want it to behave like Javascript. I just want lispy syntax for it and, most importantly, macros. --J. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
