Clojure is awesome. But I can't get past the JVM for personal projects, because of my discomfort depending on something so massive and complex.
Anybody use Janet ?
Or any another lisp like clojure?
I have compulsive "switch language mid-project" disorder.
I saw Richard Hickey speak ~10-15 years ago in Brooklyn at some user group, and he mentioned he would have just used Common Lisp if he could have, but his work demanded he use something like Java or C#.
@pkw there’s #lokke which implements #clojure on #Guile — a much lighter runtime. Here’s a comparison: https://github.com/lokke-org/lokke#general-comparison-with-clojurejvm
