Why HN links it

HN commenters link this blog's posts on running ClojureScript without the JVM, including compiling ClojureScript projects for Node and the fastest Clojure REPL, mainly as support for Lumo.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

  3. If you want to keep the repl running this is fine, but for scripts, you should be using planck[1] or lumo[2]. Planck in my experience has nice command-line args parsing by default, both should be fast enough not to be annoying when running scripts.

  5. We already can cut off the JVM from CLJS development https://anmonteiro.com/2017/02/compiling-clojurescript-proje... But node is way slower then JVM and once JVM has better tools/env, almost no one develop tools thinking in "node build setup".

  7. afaik you can already use ClojureScript without depending on the JVM lumo: https://anmonteiro.com/2017/02/compiling-clojurescript-proje... calvin: https://github.com/eginez/calvin
