I wasn't aware of the Gloat project before this. It's a compiler that turns Clojure into native binaries by first transpiling to Glojure (which I'd also never heard of before this), which in turn targets Go. This is rather than using a GraalVM native image, which as I understand it is at this point the better-explored mechanism of doing that for JVM-based stuff (but has its own trade-offs).<p>Very cool!
How is the demonym not Clojuristas?
Two of these projects are just AI. This is not very promising.
Neither of them is AI genetated software though. One is a fast Clojure LLM inference library, and the other a MCP server, both coded by humans, without AI.
I know at least one of them and it has already existed for a decade or so, and is a legit framework, so this isn’t some hype based thing.<p>And Clojure is legitimately good at data processing.<p>The MCP server is a relatively simple project, don’t think that’s a bad idea.
