Big fan of Clojure for sure. But looking at all the cool projects built on WASM, I'm not sure about the bare metal vs VM direction. There are compilers, interpreters, embedded support, interesting sandboxes (RLbox), webGPU. There are use cases from browsers to embedded, and it's a portable assembly language so you can still write with most higher level languages if you like the syntax and take advantage of all these environments to run in. The "browser as OS" idea has been around for a couple of decades now and it keeps moving closer to the bare metal.
- bayesian_horse 3y agoThere is already clojurescript, not much use for clojure to WASM in the browser. I guess there are or will be JVMs for WASM at the very least. And Clojurescript running on Nodejs or Deno won't be that much of a difference.
