clojure/exit for boot.clj

[Drew Raines]

Hi.

I've been typing (. System (exit 0)) to kill the JVM after building a
new clojure.jar. Can we include this functionality in the language?
Patch attached.

Here's a more idiomatic version.

I have the same thing in a file that loads every time I start up the
REPL. While I wouldn't mind seeing this added to boot.clj, my first
instinct was to propose a new file that loads only for the REPL, not
for Script, that could define things that are useful in the REPL
environment. What held me back was that this is the only thing I have
so far.

Does anyone else have any functions that they have found to be
particular beneficial in the REPL but wouldn't be otherwise?

With the new Java calling syntax, you only need to type
(System.exit 0)

Also, Control-D kills the REPL (on Linux, at least).
