Clojurians Log v2

https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint: Light-weight ClojureScript dialect v0.11.187 • Accept plain await in async functions, in anticipation of CLJS next. The legacy js-await and js/await forms continue to work as aliases for now and may be deprecated in a future version. • Add built-in cljs.test / clojure.test support: deftest, is, testing, are, use-fixtures, async, run-tests. (thanks @wcohen for doing the initial work) • Fix with-meta now preserves callability when applied to a function • Fix https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/issues/783: auto-load macros from .cljc files via :require (no need for :require-macros) • Fix https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/issues/783: resolve qualified symbols from macro expansions • Fix https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/issues/784: resolve transitive macro deps and auto-import runtime deps from macro expansion • Fix https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/issues/786: resolve-macro-ns for cherry namespace resolution

Hello everyone! I have been working on something for a few months, and it’s real enough to share now 😄 Introducing https://github.com/RegiByte/cljam: a modest Clojure dialect and interpreter + runtime built from the ground up in TypeScript. Designed to be embeddable in any JS/TS project, run as a standalone CLI, Vite plugin, or as an MCP server for LLMs. Supports Vitest as a native test runner. Features: • createSession(): eval strings, get values back clojure-spin • embeddable nREPL server: Calva, CIDER, Cursive connect out of the box calva cider cursive • Vite plugin with bidirectional .clj ↔️ .js/`.ts` interop, you get to literally import .clj files from JS and vice versa 🙏 • Faithful to Clojure semantics (to the best of my knowledge): vars, macros, protocols/records, multimethods, transducers, loop/recur, clojure.test • Incremental compiler, hot paths compile to native JS closures • Libraries (shipped separately): cljam-schema (malli-inspired), cljam-integrant (Integrant port), cljam-date and cljam-mcp I don’t claim any novelty here, and I am definitely not a Clojure expert. This is a learning project where I got to learn even more about the best language I’ve ever used, and I’m sure there are lots of things I got wrong. If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions, please let me know. • Wrote up the full story here: https://regibyte.github.io/cljam/blog/building-cljam • WebREPL Playground: https://regibyte.github.io/cljam/playground • Install with npm install @regibyte/cljam and start using with cljam repl Acknowledgments: • Huge thanks to @pez for the support with Bencode and everything else, I could not have gotten this far without him 🙏 calva • Thanks to everyone in the #beginners slack channel for answering my questions and helping me understand more about PL theory and language design trade-offs, it’s been a great learning experience. I hope you have some fun cljamming today 🙏 Thanks for the attention! gratitude
