Exciting idea, I love Clojure, but every time I tried Clojure, I found myself butting heads with the Java ecosystem, and I always wished it had its own ecosystem and interpreter/compiler. I will caveat that that's just because I've never spent long in the Java ecosystem, so it's not a criticism of the current Clojure + Java ecosystem, more my own lack of experience.
- barrenko 4y agoKinda same experience, but I do have some experience with Java so imho Clojure makes it easier overall. Not sure interop with C/C++ would be somehow easier.
- kimi 4y agoThe big issue here is that (most) Clojure libraries that interact with the rest of the world do wrap some high-quality Java libraries (JDBC, web servers, etc) so Jank would start afresh here. CLJS has the same issue, of course, while Graal doesn't.
