Nu to Swift #75

Closed avocade closed 2 years ago

avocade commented 10 years ago

An even better target than Objective-C, feature- and structure-wise.

Swift is great, but without homoiconicity, true macros and prefix notation, how can anything than Clojure/Lisp be my favorite language :)

GetContented commented 10 years ago

I wonder if it'd be possible to build Clojure on LLVM... and/or the mac os x runtime (whatever it is... used to be called the Objective-C runtime, but now that swift has arrived it's kind of not called that anymore, is it :))

Have you seen anything @avocade ?

I quite like the idea of nu, but I really like Clojure...

Not seen anything to date.

I doubt this would work really well, actually, becouse objective-c is actually just as functional (ignoring syntax) as swift, and much more dynamic, type wise.
