Rustly

A Clojure to Rust transpiler.

Usage

lein run --in <src.clj> --out <out.rs>

Example

Run the example with ./hello_world.sh

This shell script invokes the transpiler with input file example/hello_world/hello-world.clj, produces output file example/hello_world/src/main.rs, invokes cargo run, producing the "Ferris says hello" message:

----------------------------
| Hello world              |
----------------------------
          \
           \
              _~^~^~_
          \) /  o o  \ (/
            '_   -   _'
            / '-----' \

Status

This is a science project. Rustly is alpha and subject to change. Feedback on design and implementation is welcome. Only a subset of Clojure is implemented. The goal is to cover all the good parts.

No packaged builds are provided at this time. To use this transpiler you must download the source code.

See Kalai for a more comprehensive Clojure transpiler.

Rationale

A concise Lisp syntax, backed by Clojure tooling that targets Rust might be a good thing.

Developing

Issues, pull requests, and suggestions are very welcome.
