Do you have a link? The only one I'm aware of is https://github.com/candid82/joker https://github.com/candid82/joker.
Believe it or not, this is relevant to an ongoing sabbatical project of my own. I'm grossly unfamiliar with Java, so it's often hard to read through the Clojure implementation :/
- jonahbenton 6y agoI worked on one privately back around 2014, then later picked up on some of this work: https://github.com/venantius/glojure https://github.com/venantius/glojure, done by a friend of a friend. Neither one got anywhere useful. I more became convinced that to get to a useful place it would be necessary to generate (and compile) code and although Go has some of that tooling, I did not have the appetite to build with it. The Java implementation implementation is hard to read even for Java folks, it is more of how a C++ programmer would write Java, both in terms of syntax, and semantics.
- omginternets 6y agoCheers! I’ll definitely give this a read-through.
