ClojureScript isn't really new. It's been around since at least 2008, I referenced it in an answer to a stack overflow question back then here: http://stackover

I remember playing with it way before answering that question.
- runevault 15y agoThere was a previous incarnation in 2008, this one is something built from scratch using none of that code and using a lot of other tools like the Google Closure compiler, so aside from the name they don't share that much really.
- fogus 15y agoOne further point of complication is that they also share the amazing Chris Houser who was the primary programmer on the previous and a key contributor on the new.
- runevault 15y agoSomehow I forgot Chouser worked on the first one, even though I remember when he initially released it, weird. But then his finger prints are on a lot of awesome stuff.
- zaph0d 15y agoThat ClojureScript is in no way related to this one. The former used to translate a subset of Clojure to JavaScript, the latter is a full-blown implementation of Clojure which targets JavaScript as the platform (as opposed to the JVM).
