clojure-in-clojure

An experimental re-implementation of Clojure on Clojure.

Status

  • reader - feature complete
  • compiler - work in progress (~ 50%)

Why?

At the moment this project is mostly an excuse to write a non-trivial amount of Clojure and to gain a better understanding of the current Clojure implementation.

How?

The current approach is to attempt a fairly direct translation of the Java implementation of Clojure, in order to make it easier to spot omissions or mistakes. Once everything works (and backed by extensive tests) the code can be refactored to more idiomatic Clojure.
