Certainly open to patches that make the analyzer easier to compile elsewhere. If somebody wants to make the compiler bootstrappable they need to outline some kind of plan that allows ClojureScript (JS) development to continue with minimal disruption. There are many decisions (non-reified vars and namespaces, compiler macros, etc.) which make a lot of sense for the JavaScript target that may not make sense for other targets. > After that, I'd like to rip apart core.cljs and make it also platform > agnostic.
