I guess you're not familiar with ClojureScript and/or Clojure CLR?
- 59nadir 10y agoThat's sort of like the following: - I don't want a door here. - Ok, you don't like the wooden door here. You can have a plastic one or a steel door. With CL you're not tied to _any_ platform.
- mathw 10y agoLast time I tried to use Clojure CLR, all the useful libraries were JVM-only because they called out to JVM libs underneath.
- kazinator 10y ago"Clojure" is being used as a family name for similar, but incompatible dialects. If I were Hickey, I'd trademark it and enforce against these projects. Look at lispm's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13984011 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13984011 It's not just the platform libs, but the semantics of things that really should be portable.
