Re: Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

Kotlin native can also target wasm. But I don't know enough of it to know if it's usefull for the clojure story. Since there is very little you can do with wasm, it's highly dependent on interacting with JavaScript. It's possible some computational heavy stuff might better be done in wasm then

Re: Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

Think Rust and Golang both have the ability to target WASM now too. I'm not sure how well Java Byte-Code to WASM would work in practise. Found this project that seems able to transpile from Java ByteCode to JS/WASM; http://teavm.org/ On Thu, 26 Jul 2018 at 12:34 Bo Yao wrote: > Not true.Wasm

Re: Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

Not true.Wasm is a a kind of assembly and it's browser runtime: https://webassembly.github.io/spec/. The emscripten project is doing compile c/c++ to wasm. There's a another team working on rust to wasm compiler and toolchains: https://webassembly.github.io/spec/ On Friday, September 15, 2017

Re: Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

Correct me if I am wrong, webassembly is just a compiler currently only supports C,C++ and rust and we might be able to compile clojure to webassembly in the far future? On Thursday, September 14, 2017 at 5:03:25 AM UTC+8, Hlöðver Sigurðsson wrote: > >

Re: Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

I recommend reading up on WebAssembly, a good place to start might be https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FAQ.md#is-webassembly-only-for-cc-programmers/ In those three paragraphs, it is pretty clear that, at least as it stands now, wasm is much closer semantically to actual asm than

Webassembly as a Clojure target platform

Is there any plan in the future to have clojure (or some dialect of clojure) compile to webassembly? I can't say for sure if it is the "next big thing" for the web, but it is a very interesting concept. I suppose that, if Java bytecode could cross-compile to Webassembly, we would essentially
