ClojureScript

  • What: Clojure running on Javascript VMs
  • Why: Clojure rocks, Javascript reaches
  • When: Now! - a compiler exists, we need libraries and tool integration. Full day sessions 6/10 and 6/17
  • Where: In stealth mode ‘here’ at Clojure/core
  • How: ClojureScript -> ClojureScript-Compiler -> Javascript -> [Google-Closure-JS->JS-Compiler -> Optimized-Javascript] ->Browser/V8/Node/PhoneGap…
  • Who: You, if you’re interested in:
    • How hand-written recursive descent compilers work (the ClojureScript compiler is about 1/6 the code of the CoffeeScript compiler)
    • Writing libraries using Clojure’s latest type and polymorphism tools
    • How Clojure works - its data structures and abstractions
    • Extending the reach of Clojure
    • Google’s industrial-strength JS tools
    • Investigating how powerful code-emitting tools can change the face of web and mobile development…
