  • My take on this is a turbocharged fork of joker, with an IR-driven runtime and a WASM bridge via wazero: https://github.com/rcarmo/go-joker

  • From what I can gather from the site it has no security or sandboxing features. Or am I missing something?

    I'm asking because I'm thinking about R7RS Wile scheme[1] as an embedded language, which has some basic security features. But it's heavily vibe-coded and that puts me off a bit, so I'm looking for other Lisp or Scheme dialects in Go.

  • I believe this is the most promising Clojure hosted on Go, as their has been a few recently, this is the only one with full proper interop.

  • dialects are IMO the most exciting thing about clojure. they are making progress quickly and reaching parity.

  • PSA: glojure maintenance has moved here: https://github.com/gloathub/glojure

    Worth changing the submit URL to this one?

    Edit: never mind. Spoke too soon. Ingy is keeping gloathub/glojure fork and glojurelang/glojure source at parity.

  • Thats pretty sweet.

    How does the repl work? Does it compile to Go, then execute? Or does it ship with a full vm? Most go repls are really slow because they need to compile/execute (they fake the "e" part in repl). Its a niche case, but could enable some fun projects.

  • There’s also typed fp on Go: https://lisette.run/

    The Go runtime, toolchain, and ecosystem are great- it makes sense to target it.
