Clojure-skummet translator

[Camilo Roca]

Hey guys,

I was thinking of doing a little experiment and I would like to get some input from you. To be honest I am quite new to Clojure but I am very interested in its capabilities thus I would like to try this:

I would like to develop a Clojure translator based on the jar files created by the Skummet plugin.

The idea behind it is to use GWT and j2obC (both from Google) to translate Java source code to Objective-C and Javascript.
Of course for that a decompilation of the bytecode to Java would be necessary.

As I said I really like clojure but after much research I haven't found a solution for creating cross-platform UI that satisfies both performance and Native look. This led me to the two tools that I mentioned above which have the rationale of making all the business logic in Java but leaving the UI as Native. I would like to try this but using Clojure instead of Java :)

Any thoughts? suggestions? problems in foresight?

As I said, I am new to Clojure so any comment is much welcome

In my experience, java decompilers cannot fully decompile clojure-generated byte code, so that's probably a roadblock for your idea. Maybe gcj can compile clojure output to native code?

To me, the most exciting prospect in the department native ui; scriptable is react native. It's already available for iOS and will be available for android soon. You can use it with clojurescript.

My comments would be, try using clojurescript for the Javascript part (as that is independent of skummet's improvements and would almost certainly have better performance that a gwt from decompiled bytecode)  and then look at RoboVM for the objective c part- it translates bytecode directly to obj c
