ANN: ClojureScript 1.7.28 - Optional Self Hosting

[David Nolen]

ClojureScript, the Clojure compiler that emits JavaScript source code.

README and source code: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript

Leiningen dependency information:

    [org.clojure/clojurescript "1.7.28"]

ClojureScript now has a proper version number. This version number is

designed to reflect feature parity with Clojure.

The primary new feature of this release is optional

self hosting. ClojureScript can now run either on the JVM or directly on

JavaScript. Please refer to the docstrings in the new cljs.js

namespace for details on this functionality. cljs.js is designed to

enable new use cases (iOS, Android, interactive tutorials, snippet

sharing) not well served by the default compilation model.

The release also includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements.

This release also bumps the Clojure dependency to 1.7.0 and

tools.reader to 0.10.0-alpha3.

As always feedback welcome!

Hi David,

Are macros supported directly within clojurescript then? I'm having some trouble compiling a macro via defmacro.

Matt

[David Nolen]

No. ClojureScript's macro system isn't going to change.

See https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Bootstrapped-ClojureScript-FAQ.

Sorry, what I meant was can bootstrapped ClojureScript do (:require-macros ...) without the JVM. Perhaps you can clarify that FAQ to say that.
