I'm not sure that this was clear, but the reason this is important is for an in-browser REPL.
Would it be possible to turn down the GCC compilation levels, in the "I want an REPL" use case?
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoSeems like a great idea. This way, developers can decide if they need eval and make the tradeoff. Note that eval can also be use for metaprogramming, and that not having the full code of clojure also affects runtime reflection. Which is more to the spirit of Clojure and LISPs in general: developers being able at any momemnt to change the language as if he was the language designer. Or, as said on Five Questions about Language Design[1]: Give the Programmer as Much Control as Possible [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/langdes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/langdes.html
