Building for HTML5 #41

Hello,

I'm just starting to checkout play-clj. Can I build for HTML too? It seams to be possible from libgdx.

Thanks,

Not at the moment, no. LibGDX uses a Java->JavaScript source code converter to accomplish this, so it won't work with Clojure. I am still highly interested in finding a way to do it, but it won't be easy.

Kay, thanks @oakes :) Maybe somewhere down the line someone will build a Clojure -> ClojureScript -> Javascript that will work with LibGDX. I'll close this.

My ideal scenario would be to convert JVM bytecode to JavaScript, so it would work with any JVM language. I plan on exploring this more in the near future.

+1 - Targeting the web is super important, but I would like to use a robust, production-ready library rather than roll my own if at all possible - and targeting other platforms natively rather than through JavaScript VMs is attractive.
