The big blocker for adoption of #Clojure on the #CLR is IMHO not in the language, but the lack of tooling. Prediction time: that’s going to change this year. Remember where you heard it first 😄

#ClojureCLR #dotnet #java #programming

@anderseknert I will be honest until you mentioned jarl I'd never even heard of clojure :blobfox0_0: although I do quite like it, I am curious where do you see it becoming more widely adopted? :blobfoxthumbsup:

@parcifal I’d say Clojure itself is quite well-adopted already, at least in its niche. And it’s certainly popular among its users. See e.g. the yearly StackOverflow survey: survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/

But that mainly Clojure and ClojureScript targeting the JVM and JavaScript respectively. Clojure targeting the CLR (ie dotnet) hasn’t seen the same adoption.. yet 🙂

@anderseknert Interesting! I think I still have quite a bit to learn in this area 😯, thanks for sharing!

@anderseknert Do you know anybody working on clojure clr? Id love to see it working with tooling in vs code or anyplace really.

@funkrider I do! Both David Miller working on ClojureCLR itself, as well as people working on tooling right now (nREPL, deps.edn, etc).. it's getting some traction, and a community is forming in the #clr channel on the Clojurians Slack. Join us there if you're interested :)
