Very cool. My immediate thought was - could this open possibilities to compete with Rust on wasm targets? Upon reviewing it more I realized - probably not. Jank (or any other Clojure dialect) wont' really be in position to beat Rust there, and reasons are structural, not just engineering effort - we need GC and, well, that's the biggest elephant. But to be completely honest, the question: "do you need wasm at all...?", should be always followed by "why?". For like 95% of cases, Clojurescript saves you weeks/months of work. Easier to build, easier to maintain. That's subjective, of course. Most Rustaceans don't even want to try Clojure. Most Clojurists find Rust to be needlessly complex. |
