moving over from the announcement thread
idea for next year: maybe ask about other scripting dialects like joker, babashka, etc?
even as a single question, just to get an idea of how widespread use is
also graalvm
There are couple of others listed here as well: https://stuartsierra.com/2019/12/21/clojure-start-time-in-2019
probably clojerl and similar too
So summarized: one about alternative Clojure implementations. And one about GraalVM as a target.
yes
Graal is included in several answer sets now
sorry, just one actually - Q20 (production app). I had it in another related to packaging but ended up removing it
removing the whole question that is
the set of things mentioned above are used for different purposes though so I'm not sure that all makes as a question
like, I suspect many people are using joker as a linter, but not for any other reason
I suspect approximately no one is using clojerl
graal is being used to create executables
babashka to do scripting
what question brings those together in a useful way?
which alternative clojure implementations are you using?
@alexmiller Two separate questions. One about scripting solutions. One for targeting Graal (sorry, I missed that question when I filled out the survey).
the latter is there now imo
atm that one is tracking <5%
I made a note for next year, will revisit then
I guess I'm curious about the usage, even if it's tiny, but it's not my survey. knowing what people use these alternative implementations for would be interesting too
some command line apps that are typically used only in dev are written in graalvm, but they are becoming more widespread. asking about production apps compiled in graalvm would not cover those
you could always do your own survey :)
that's true! 🙂
