If you had any optimized code relying on primitives/arrays, you'd probably be looking at a full rewrite to whatever gives performance on the new platform (this takes a lot of time and experience with the platform). The same applies to all other libraries. With CLR you may get by easily just because it is such a close match to the JVM. With JavaScript, no way. > Like others said, nothings is as still as stone in the software world, > otherwise > things like Clojure would not even exists, we would still be rolling on > square > wheels... > My prediction is, Clojure dies with the JVM. This will not happen any time soon and when it does, there will be other exciting languages around, sharing much of the spirit with Clojure. If Clojure migrates to another platform, it will be an effort strictly by -- and for -- the hard-core (and old-school, by then) Clojure afficionados. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
