These kinds of things are cute and fun—but does anyone use these sorts of language x to language y translators in practice? Not talking about specialized language interpretation. With JavaScript, the most common operation is to manipulate and capture from the DOM—something that this tool is not capable of readily doing, not, at least, without getting one's hands dirty with JS.
- sumukh1 13y agoThe challenge is to do that is that there is no "Pythonic" way of manipulating the DOM. When we were building a similar translator we included a way to interact with JQuery through a js object (i.e. js.document.addEventListener) -- but it still required the user to think about and understand javascript.

- Paradigma11 13y agoI do think https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript is quite popular. I have personally used http://www.websharper.com/home http://www.websharper.com/home for a few projects quite successfuly.
- terhechte 13y agoI think ClojureScript is actively being used in practice. I think most others are more or less neat experiments.
- chubot 13y agoPretty sure Light Table is built in ClojureScript (on top of Node-Webkit), which is pretty impressive!
