The Glojure programming language

glojure's Issues

Rename this repo Gojure or Clojuro

Clojuro should be pronounced to rhyme with Gojiro

core.async

Hi, as we all know async is a powerful pattern in both go and clojure, furthermore, the APIs in both languages are very similar. Are there any plans to port the namespace in this repo ?

Know about ferret?

First of all I would like to say that I have been looking for a Clojure to Go compiler for a while. The closes thing I found was Ferret, and I have been thinking of adding a "backend" for Golang.

You may want to have a look at this: http://ferret-lang.org/#outline-container-sec-6 Ferret has an interesting test suite that could be used to get started with Golang. Or, maybe, why not merging the two projects?

Investigate shared libraries as a path to hot code loading

The design of Glojure as a language is such that hot code loading and reloading will be enabled by default, since all vars sit in a centrally managed map and can by dynamically re-bound at will depending on compiler scope.

That having been said, runtime imports of Go packages will not be possible by default without deliberately linking all the relevant packages together at compile-time.

I'm still learning about how this has worked in the past and how the limitations are changing in the future, but one thing that is clear is that they are changing.
