- pjmlp 13y agoJust compile it to native code with a native Java compiler, or NGEN/Mono AOT on the CLR side.
- lucian1900 13y agoAt least in the past that has been very problematic. Perhaps it will change, but I would very much like to see Clojure become a new ClojureScript target.
- frou_dh 13y agoI recognise your username as the one obsessed with bringing up the existence of native Java/.NET compilers! It seems a losing battle.
- pjmlp 13y agoBecause they do exist, and I think it is important to make people aware Language != Implementation, as young developers seem not to know anything about compiler implementation nowadays. Maybe my country of origin makes me have a bit of D. Quixote, who knows.
- MatthewPhillips 13y agoSpecifically which one, and how? I've investigated this a lot, and can't find too many people doing this.
