cljc - a clojure compiler in clojure

This is the home page of my compiler project: A version of the clojure compiler written in clojure. The code is hosted at github.

Bootstrapping

cljc should now be able to compile itself with some trivial modifications. To do a clean 3-stage bootstrap:

  1. Create two copies of the code in two different namespaces, e.g., boot.compiler and boot.compiler2 and likewise for the binfmt and class-file libs.
  2. Change any uses of require, load, and use of the org.subluminal libs to org.subluminal.compiler/load-file (stage 2) or boot.compiler/load-file (stage 3). Require and load would delegate to clojure.lang.Compiler.
The cljc-boot tarball demonstrates this. Using this package the bootstrap should go as follows: 
> (clojure.core/require 'org.subluminal.compiler) ; stage 1
> (in-ns 'org.subluminal.compiler)
> (compile 'org.subluminal.boot.compiler) ; stage 2
> (in-ns 'org.subluminal.boot.compiler)
> (compile 'org.subluminal.boot.compiler2) ; stage3
