Whats the shortest description of Clojurescript that would tell someone it's relationship to javascript? is it "Javascript compiler" Or is it only accurate to give the longer description: "Clojurescript compiles to javascript"

I always read “foo compiler” as “something which compiles foo”

Drew Verlee18:06:16

Me to, so it's necessary to say "CLJS compiles to JS"?

Drew Verlee18:06:35

i guess it's not really any longer, i was trying to fit the description as an aside.

Drew Verlee18:06:47

e.g clojurescript (javascript compiler)

How about this from the https://clojurescript.org/?: > ClojureScript is a compiler for http://clojure.org that targets JavaScript. It emits JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler.

That's clearly correct. But far to long to fit in a resume where the goal is to explain how I have written most of my javascript through clojurescript. I went with "coding solutions in ClojureScript, which compiles to JavaScript". I was hoping trying to get the four words down to two, and ideally in a way that it could be a quick aside. e.g "coding solutions in Clojurescript (BLAH javascript)"

If you know cljs and js, then I might just write "clojurescript and javascript".

I feel like the resume is mostly for recruiters who are just doing keyword matching. Explaining clojurescript on a resume seems unlikely to be read by anyone. Shorter seems better.

Ya, when you get to the interview you can explain in detail, if asked.

Lyn Headley23:06:16

"coding solutions in clojurescript/javascript" or "coding solutions in javascript (clojurescript)"

The four words could be three: > ClojureScript (compiles to JavaScript)
