Re: Implementing "ClojureScript" - command-line/sys-admin scripting with Clojure

2011-03-07 Thread icylisper
I had been working on a tool that provides a persistent JVM for command line applications. It is called jark. It does not compete with any of the clojure build tools(lein, cljr), but cleanly integrates with them. You can find more about it here: http://icylisper.in/clojure/jark.html I am yet to m

Cake (http://clojure-cake.org/) has a nice mechanism to get around the slow startup issue of JVM/Clojure. I built a couple of command line tools using that. And it has some other nice features for Clojure development as well. Rob On Mar 4, 1:29 am, Shlomi Fish wrote: > Hi all, > > I've decided t

Cake also aims to solve the startup time problem with a client/server architecture similar to nailgun. You can add '#!/usr/bin/env cake' to the top of clojure scripts you want to be executable, and there's even a built-in filter task for text manipulation inspired by 'perl -pe'. http://clojure-ca

I use nailgun to solve the jvm startup time. It works very well. When I'm editing a 'script' in vimclojure I just hit \ef and my 'nail' is instantly compiled and available at the command line. It's about as painless as possible. I do create a small bash wrapper for each clojure script. The bash

Well, reviving scsh and writing some clojure-ish macros for a lightweight, fast-starting scheme (e.g. gambit which can compile small utilities, has excellent unix process, file, and networking already) would be a *lot* easier than the effort to get any JVM language up to par for the same goal.

Have you look at Scsh? http://www.scsh.net/about/what.html It's not the most trendy, but being a Scheme at least is nice. Anyone capable of doing the job properly either won't take any money or won't come cheap, so you might be better of offering a round of beer or request bids. On Mar 4, 1:29
