Step 2 in the classical bootstrap process for a language is to rewrite it in itself. Clojure is more than capable of this. But Clojure continues to rely on Java code for its implementation.
Is there a reason why this was not done? Efficiency issues? A rush to create something usable? I would think that having Clojure implemented entirely in Clojure would have a number of advantages. I am sure there was a deliberate decision, not to complete the bootstrap process. Is this documented anywhere? Just being a nosy newbie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
