Clojure hosted on Go, fascinating! What must-have Go packages are you most excited for?

  The Go ecosystem does web and http services extremely well. It really shines when used in this manner. A lot of clojure developers could benefit from this immensely. On a different note there was some movement to port clojure to the CLR And that would open the entire .NET ecosystem up, which I would love to see as an alternative to the JVM

    Clojure was meant to be a guest language, so the more platforms it supports, the merrier. But web and http is definitely not lacking in anything in the JVM world, given that half the business-critical backends of the internet runs on it.

    > lot of clojure developers could benefit from this immensely. Curious what you think Clojure developers could benefit from specifically. Having done web services in both languages I much prefer the experience in Clojure. E.g. found error handling in Gin to be very cumbersome (AbortWithStatusJSON and such). The deployment story is nicer in Go, tho. Clojue CLR is behind JVM support (and performance), but it has been a thing from the start, not just a "port".
