ClojureScript is not primarily an extension of Clojure - it is an implementation of Clojure. You can also expect the following from ClojureScript in future:
* sophisticated debugging, introspection layer (in browser would be possible)
* fast, portable
You should be able to develop games as easily in ClojureScript as you would in Outlet.
That said, Outlet is very cool!
- jlongster 15y agoFair enough. I heard Rich Hickey (I think) refer to as extending Clojure into the browser, which made me think of it as an "extension" rather than a full implementation. If the goal is a full implementation, that's awesome. I'm really interested to watch ClojureScript develop, and it already has an amazing community (and surprising awareness among devs). I probably need to hack on the source before I make assumptions about it. I'm enjoying the freedom of building a new language though, and things like compiling to Lua and debugging aren't as nearly overwhelming because I'm doing it from the ground up. Who knows though, if I get comfortable with ClojureScript I could eventually just contribute to that.
- swannodette 15y agoDon't get me wrong, I'm following the development of Outlet very eagerly and I look forward to the games people build with it! Your earlier work with iOS+Scheme inspired me to stick with my own Lisp endeavors :)
- jlongster 15y agoOh, you've seen that? Cool! The iOS stuff was fun. Thanks for watching :)
