I've recently come across Kawa Scheme and am very intrigued by it. It's Java
integration is superb like Clojure and it's very fast. Has anyone here used it
to build something?
So far I've only tried it with small toy programs. Things I like about it:
- Starts up very quickly
- Java method notation lends itself to auto-complete
(instance:method param1 param2)
- Can pre-compile and use it on Android
- Repl has line numbers so compilation errors on repl forms have source lines
Maybe Kawa fits into a niche that Clojure leaves open with its heavier runtime?
Maybe I'm just trying toy programs and those toy programs are fast? :-)
One thing that intrigues me here though since java integration is so easy with
Kawa is the notion of using Clojure's immutable data structures from Kawa --
maybe even making a clojure "core" library for use from Kawa.
