Nice work, Gavin. Grojure is a good example why Clojure is an excellent UNCOL for the JVM, so some of us will depend less on the ASM lib. Your parser illustrates how to use grammar actions for writing a very compact one-pass translator; pretty cool. On Sunday, April 28, 2013 9:41:00 PM UTC-7,

Armando, I intend to keep Grojure as single-pass, unlike what you did with Eisen, so people can easily see a matchup between the Kern combinators and the Clojure macros when looking at the source. I still need to reduce the (at times) exponential backtracking a lot so Grojure will become a more

Thanks; glad to know the lib's working well. It'll be interesting to see how Clojure semantics like immutability, closures, and programming with values start to take hold in more languages and tools. On Monday, April 29, 2013 3:57:04 PM UTC-7, Gavin Grover wrote: Armando, I intend to keep
