ClojureScript doesn't run on either the CLR or JVM; the compiler is JVM-based Clojure but the output runs as JS. And it's worth noting that Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin all originated outside of Sun; where F# originated from inside Microsoft.
- Dn_Ab 14y agoYes, that's why I made a note of its dialect nature. But I still count it as something that sprung from interesting work in the JVM community that deserves to be noticed on its own. In this case, the output as javascript is almost incidental, the more interesting results is the language-browser interaction it allows. It does not matter where the research got done as long as it's interesting and moves things forward. Anyways, the cultures of MS and MSR are so different, it is arguable if one can even consider MSR as part of Microsoft. Sort of like Hong Kong and China. MSR fund a lot of haskell work for example.
