How difficult would it be to write a clojure-to-wasm compiler? I'm under the impression that's it's doable, but obviously lacks a standard library to interop effectively with. Could clojure just consider piggy-backing on any advancements that Java+JVM makes to compile to webasm?

Seems like only the .NET world has really been pushing for compiling C# to webasm. I wonder if graalvm will ever go so advanced as to support webasm as a compilation target.

@benzap I think someone mentioned that wasm doesn't have GC? But I might be making that up.

Dnolen had some comments about wasm in his defn podcast interview.

Ya, it doesn't have it's own GC, but i'm under the impression you would compile your own GC

it would be like re-implementing a GC similarly to how the JVM would be re-implemented for a new line of CPUs

I think it's the reason why LLVM was so quick to develop something that worked for webasm, since it's primary concern is to work incredibly well in that area

I would assume that GraalVM would be the best bet for supporting webasm with the JVM, which would then lead to the possibility of supporting clojure

Hi all, I have a huge naming issue :

(defn ??? [x]
  (fn [& _] (throw x)))

throwing?

(constant-thrower-of :foo)

I would probably call that bomb-with-x

thank you all for being part of such a helpful community !

A bit offtopic, but has anyone experience with http://webgo.de and http://all-inkl.com and can recommend one or the other for certain reasons?
