Right so it’s based on LLVM rather than Java right? That’s why c++ ffi is so integrated maybe?

I don't know anything about it really. I had to look at the website to see what it was, then reported what I found.

This looks really cool. Sounds like the lead developer quit their job to work on this full time. I hope it's successful!

I'm pretty hyped about it. With nrepl support, and being able to use deps, it's starting to get to the point where you can make actual projects with it. Looks like most pure Clojure libraries should work with it too now.
