Hi,
I have noticed that this question is randomly appearing in many minds, and
it is frequently being asked, though there is no apparent reason on why it
is asked :/ or maybe people are unable to pen down the exact reasons, and
sad to say, even myself.
There are reasons for which I ask this question ->
- People (Majority) tend to stick with the primary implementations
of certain multi-implementation software. And in the case of Clojure, the
JVM implementation is the primary implementation now.
- Having a primary implementation in case of BDFL lead software
helps as a glue in the community. For example , CPython is the primary
python implementation, even if there is an existance of IronPython or
JPython.
- The doubts of many, including me, will be cleared by an abstract
answer... That 'many' also include the companies adopting something new, in
this particular case, adopting clojure....
*QUESTION*
Rich Hickey chose JVM as the platform of choice when he invented Clojure.
It's
community developed set of tools and documentation grew around the JVM
(Leiningen, for example).
>From the above statements, can I say that
*the JVM will always likely, remain the primary Clojure implementation* ?
Thank You.
