I've been working on a platform-agnostic version of this over here:
https://github.com/halgari/universal-clojure/blob/master/src/universal_clojure/core.clj
But I'd rather collaborate with ClojureScript. Are there any ongoing
efforts to make this cross platform? The current analyzer contains
quite a few java calls. For instance, .contains, and .indexOf. Is
Raphael working on this, or can I take up that torch and implement
these in pure Clojure?
After that, I'd like to rip apart core.cljs and make it also platform
agnostic. My idea is to standardize the native calls under a pseudo
namespace called "native". For instance:
(defn alength [array]
(native/alength array))
(defn aget [array idx default]
(if (and (>= idx 0) (< idx (alength array))
(native/aget array idx))
default))
All a new platform needs to do is have their compiler interpret
native/alength as the platform specific call (.Length in CLR, len() in
Python, etc.), and the above code is suddenly 100% cross platform.
>From there, porting to a new platform is no longer "translate
core.cljs", but instead, "implement these 20 functions from native/".
I'm really wanting to collaborate on this, since I plan on basing
future versions of Clojure-Py completely off this code base. Any
suggestions on how to go about this? I don't want to re-write anyone
else's code, but I'm also kind of tired of waiting around for someone
to hand me this on a silver platter :-).
