Requires Java, Leiningen, and Node.js installed, documentation is minimal and capabilities aren't fully described.
This is an experimental project exploring how to write server-side code using ClojureScript, a version of the Clojure programming language that compiles to JavaScript. Normally, you'd write server code in traditional languages like Python or Node.js directly, but this project lets you use Clojure syntax and features while still running on Node.js, combining the two worlds. The setup is fairly straightforward if you're familiar with the Clojure ecosystem. You need Java (which powers Clojure's build tools), Leiningen (Clojure's project manager), and Node.js installed on your machine. To get it running, you compile the ClojureScript code into JavaScript using the build tool, then execute it with Node.js like you would any other server application. Since this is labeled as "experiments," it's not a production framework, it's more of a proof-of-concept or learning project. Someone might use this if they're interested in exploring whether Clojure's approach to programming (functional programming, immutability, and expressive syntax) could work well for building server applications that ultimately run on Node.js. It could appeal to Clojure enthusiasts who want to experiment with server-side JavaScript, or developers curious about cross-language compilation and what's possible when you blend different ecosystems. The README is deliberately minimal, which suggests this was a personal exploration rather than a fully-fledged framework. The actual capabilities and what you can build with it aren't documented, so anyone interested would need to dig into the code itself to understand what's been implemented.
