What does HackerNews think of ClojureDart?

There is indeed: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart

The people who actually use ClojureDart today disagree:

> ClojureDart is production-ready: you can ship applications right now.

See a live coding session/demo given a week ago here and decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBeGpuedf0

ClojureDart is very similar to ClojureScript (which the GP is already comfortable with). If you can create and deploy an app with ClojureScript, you can 100% deploy something with ClojureDart today.

Re: Clojure-not-for-n00bs, I 100% agree and haven't met anyone in the Clojure ecosystem who would disagree. Clojure developers have consistently the most experience of any language ecosystem I've worked in over the last 25 years.

There is a port of the Clojure language to Dart with Flutter support: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart

Basically, you take a programming language and make it work on a platform that meant to be programmed using a different PL. Clojure is hosted by design - it's not Java, but can be used to program for JVM. It ain't Javascript, yet can be used to target nodejs and browser; not an [official] CLR language, but you can write .Net programs. You can use Clojure to make Flutter apps with ClojureDart. You can integrate Python into Clojure with libpython-clj. Or write Clojure to target Erlang/OTP; or Rust; or R; There's even a clojure-like language for Lua - Fennel.

There's something about Clojure people like so much, they want it to work atop any platform.

There's ClojureDart, which means you can now do Dart and Flutter development in Clojure: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart
