I've always considered the core part of the language to be the portion that cannot be written in the language itself.
I don't think you can write an Clojure if form in Clojure. When we talk about implementing Clojure entirely in Clojure, we don't actually mean implementing the language in itself. We mean something more along the lines of implementing Clojure v2 in Clojure v1. In case I'm mistaken, however, I would be absolutely fascinated by a language written in itself. -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
