That's an informative little blog post. I hope it inspires porting more IDEs & language runtimes to mobile.

  Mobile? Wouldn't that be even harder?
  • pjmlp 13y ago
    On iOS front, there are a few native code compilers available for Java, like RoboVM and Codename One. On Android, there is the issue Clojure is still a bit fat and uses too much reflection during startup. ART might make it harder as it is a AOT native compiler. On WP, there are currently no efforts for Java support, other than maybe via ikvm.net. Or Clojure-CLR.

      Tried compiling Clojure->Scheme->C?
      • pjmlp 13y ago
        Not yet, but the Clojure->Scheme and Clojure->native(LLVM) do look appealing. However I tend not to like having layers between language and final execution target, as it increases debugging headaches.

  This is for the Mac App Store, this is not for iOS (so not mobile). Still very cool though.

  For mobile we should support the nice work of the RoboVM guys, which are doing a native code compiler for Java based on LLVM. http://www.robovm.org/ http://www.robovm.org/

  Relevant: Haskell + vim + iPad = Raskell. Basic right now, but the author has big plans for unique ways of interacting with the code. Same author also does a Scheme IDE (Lisping)

  An approach to getting Clojure on Mobile has been the approach that Weathertron used. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/weathertron-live-rain-snow/id660925162?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/weathertron-live-rain-snow/i... They compiled the Clojure(Script) down to Javascript, combined it with Angular and packaged it up http://keminglabs.com/blog/angular-cljs-weather-app/ http://keminglabs.com/blog/angular-cljs-weather-app/
