Both based on llvm, as Rust compiler too (if I remember good). Today, I tested an llvm solution which can load eg Alpine linux. Lot of things works but unfortunately java not. I tested on iOS. So, I think Clojure could have similar backend if we want.. once. Means we could compile to iOS/Android/IoT .. if we solve that in good way.

Of course, not polygot solution..

I tried run java and babashka on this.. I forgot graalvm now.. not compatible with iOS. So, I need to fix. Maybe the problem.. that is mini version of Alpine.. lot of questions left.

so that means, maybe we could create clojurevm .. in the future.

We could but I highly doubt it's worth the trouble. The JVM in general is great and has lost of tooling/monitoring and gives access to the whole Java ecosystem.

React native approach might work better for iOS, https://gist.github.com/wavejumper/81852b2fc6beebf234a1fd4a7adeb3b8

Yes, I know. I created native iOS apps and react native too. I would like to create a fully workable linux/ real shell and commands. Unfortunately, that is harder as I saw in first. I talked with the LLVM’ guys.. so not so clear now. So, a mini linux, like statically linked linux like a binary. What you saw.. that is run in this way.. cross compiled to iOS and load the binary from native code.

Just my C knowledge not a best.. but that is really interesting. Portable linux binary. Good learning path.

If I solve that once, we could dev to any OS quickly like at Rust. That is a dream now.. 😄🙈

In Rust it's also not without problems. Lot's of libraries use some c libraries down the line.

true with sometimes assembly code..

oups.. I deleted..

in short.. I need to upgrade the kernel.. btw I added clojure and java 1.7.. but still buggy, because old kernel version.

with that binary.. eg “cvm” we can do what we want.. with commands.. run clojure projects.. or execute one script.. but I don’t have to time to play more with this

goal “just add to this binary the source and run”.. without graal
