A Fast, (soon to be) Embeddable Clojure-like language implementation in C/C++.
The near-term goal is to re-make clojure in an embedable form.
The long-term goal is to add types/functions for machine learning, tensors, etc...
- For the REPL: jclj
- For running a script: jclj file.clj
- Native implementation of almost entire core lib. See TODO.md
- Parses code into native structures (AST), then executes. Essentially interpreted - though does some clever things here and there.
- Lazy sequences
- Startup time is ridiculously fast by comparison to clojure
- Implementations of persistent lists, vectors, hash-map, hash-set, matrix
- Software Transactional Memory (STM)
- Atoms
- IO
- IO is very different than clojure's IO cause JVM Clojure's IO functions are practically non-existant.
- Software Transactional Memory (STM) now works seamlessly with Atoms - thus refs are only useful if you need the history feature?
- Not entirely complete implementation (yet). There is a LOT to do.
- See TODO.md for information on what is left to do.
- Compile to C/C++ code so you can compile a native executable.
- Save/Restore program state (continue later, saved in binary format).
- Native types and operations for Matrices and Tensors.
- Automatic Parallelization.
- sorted-set
- sorted-map
- refs
- agents
- other etc....
Unix:
Run make to build and make install to install to /usr/local/bin (might require sudo)
Windows:
Run c.bat for Microsoft C/C++ compiler. Run make for mingw gcc.
