Thanks for your clarification! A few further thoughts:
ClojureScript may one day be self-hosting but it's not a near term > goal given the desire to target the kinds of clients that run > JavaScript. Considering that the path to a self hosting clojure would probably start at clojurescript and that the output of the clojurescript compiler is already loadable in a javascript runtime, I can very well imagine a self hosting repl for development. Of course with advanced optimization, it's a different story. I figure a self hosting clojure(script) would be a big merit for alternate implementors to ensure common semantics. That said, I fully support the focus of clojurescript. In fact, I'd like for the clojure compiler to be able to do closed world optimizations too, in order to strip out reified vars, eval, unused fns ... . That would be great for deployments on android et al. Good thing is, we don't need to wait for clojure/core to implement that in the compiler, it can be implemented as source code transformation. kind regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
