[ANN] - purnam "0.0.10" - angular.js language extensions

[zcaudate]

I had a vague description for purnam 0.0.9:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/clojure/AgZ_wVtdUFI

Its the same code with a different read me... 

Get it here:  https://github.com/zcaudate/purnam

Excerpt:

#### Features

Purnam has three main components:

1. Angular Language Extensions

2. Jasmin Language Extensions for TDD with Karma

3. Clojurescript Language Extensions (which the previous two are built upon)

#### Why not use lispyscript/coffeescript/clang?

I like each of the languages for their own features:

   - coffeescript for its succinctness

   - lispyscript for its syntax and macros

   - clang for its sheer brilliance and audacity

However, in using each language I did find some weaknesses

   - coffeescript and its ambiguous syntax that changes meaning with whitespace

   - lispyscript is too new for me and not widely adopted

   - clang is to ambitious in what it is trying to do (make angular work with clojure) and I think there are definite performance implications in doing so.

The goal of this project is to provide opt-in language extensions for clojurescript to have the same sort of succintness when working with angular and all other javascript libraries.

Hi,

Thanks for the project , the language extensions are fantastic !

One of the problems I have had in working with cljs is the compatibility and awkward syntax in working with external js libs. This goes a long long way in resolving it. 

Thanks,

Murtaza

You can give ChlorineJS a try:

In fact, my motivation for ChlorineJs was to work seamless with AngularJS. More about the language:

Please note there's currently a bug with Plunker and some versions of Firefox so in the mean time you should check it with other browsers.

did you write your own compiler?

well, it's a fork from Ram Krishnan's clojurejs with more practical
stuff. The compiler (named Chloric) is distributed via nodejs NPM, but
it's written in Clojure so don't be lied :)
