I have been wanting to learn Clojure for a while, but I am not an iOS guy. I do not want to take away mfikes' thunder (super solid and amazing work by the way, sir. Saw your blog post on earlier work on /r/clojure on reddit ... I think, maybe a week or two ago), but how viable is something similar on Android? I would LOVE to have something like on my Nexus 6 while in the park and outings with the family.

It is _extremely_ viable: The core REPL functionality is based on a few ClojureScript lines from Joel Martin's initial work for something similar for Node. In short, to make an Android version would involve just running a JavaScript engine and hooking up a little bit of UI to send strings to it, and get strings back out of it. Replete is open source... feel free to steal heavily from it. Look at how simple and rough the first working version of Replete was (see demo of it at bottom of http://blog.fikesfarm.com/posts/2015-06-27-replete-a-standalone-ios-cljs-repl.html http://blog.fikesfarm.com/posts/2015-06-27-replete-a-standal...) IMHO an Android version is just waiting to be created by someone. :)

  Very cool. Very nice to see your work. Hope to learn something from you soon. Maybe I will steal a friend's iPad to play with your stuff. Will keep track of your stuff.

    Replete is in beta right now, so it simply requires signing up and making use of TestFlight. https://github.com/mfikes/replete/wiki/Beta https://github.com/mfikes/replete/wiki/Beta Also, it is a slightly older version, but if you want, you can try it directly online here: https://appetize.io/app/8hf37bv29k2zrj0v2j765xt3jr https://appetize.io/app/8hf37bv29k2zrj0v2j765xt3jr

A bootstrapped ClojureScript REPL now exists for Android. Replicator: http://tahmid.me/posts/2015-07-15-bootstrapped-cljs-repl-for-android.html http://tahmid.me/posts/2015-07-15-bootstrapped-cljs-repl-for...
