ANN: clojure-objc 1.7.0-beta2

[Gal Dolber]

Clojure-objc, the Clojure compiler that targets objc runtimes.

clojure-objc 1.7.0-beta2

• Sync with clojure 1.7.0-beta2

• Remote REPL fully working

• Use the same hashing on NSString as java.lang.String to enable ‘case’

• Almost all tests were transcompiled and pass on objc

• Include j2objc in the releases

lein-objcbuild 0.1.5

• Incremental compilation of functions

• Automatically manage and download all the release binaries

clojure-objc-sample

• Use uikit

• Add sample code to use the Remote REPL

Now it's very easy to get started, the lein plugin is doing all the heavy lifting.

Here's a quick screencast of the plugin and the REPL

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks! Yes, thats the project from Google that translates java to objc

This is very cool! I saw some references to https://github.com/google/j2objc - is that what the project uses to do the Java -> ObjC?

I have 2 apps in production, but they are enterprise apps so they are not in the AppStore. 

There are many apps built with j2objc in the AppStore already, and internally this is just that, it generates objc code and it doesn't violate any Apple terms. Inbox by Google and Google Sheets are built with j2objc.

At this point I consider it production ready, we've been using it for a year, all of Clojure is working, this is not a small subset of features, j2objc matured a lot since the first release, there are no memory leaks and we haven't seen a crash in months.

Incremental compilation and the REPL changed the game for the development experience. You can now do interactive REPL development on iOS, and I'm biased, but it is better and faster than swift.

Have you built or released on the App Store any apps using this? I'm just wondering if you'd classify it as "feature complete" and "ready to use" or it's more in the experimental phase.
