Replying to my own comment to keep this properly namespaced: Both of the new additions to JS specified in the article can be sort of done in cljs, though each one will be a function. This already fits with the existing paradigm; there are no operators in Clojure, only functions. “2 + 3” in JS is already “(+ 2 3)” in CLJS. The Math.pow() vs “two stars operator” is kinda pointless: it can be reduced to (pow x y) with a require statement. Is that really used often enough to warrant new syntax? Here’s how big numbers can be separated by space though. It does not handle overflows; I don’t think the JS version does either: (defn bignum [& xs] (js/parseInt (apply str xs))) (bignum 123 456 789) ;; yields 123456789 as a JS int There’s an efficiency argument to be made here, in that a JS parser can do this with less overhead. But if you have that many unreadable big numbers written in your codebase, I think you have bigger problems.
