The Language of the Language: Comparing compiler construction in Clojure and F#
- emmanueloga_ 6y agoThis is so interesting because the meme is that functional languages with algebraic types (Haskell, OCaml, SML, F#, Scala etc.) are the absolute best for building compilers, but the author makes a pretty convincing case for Clojure being also very up to task. The author also doesn't stand for one or the other, but presents the trade offs of working on compilers on each language and explains why Clojure is actually a pretty reasonable choice for this task.
