I wasn't aware of the Gloat project before this. It's a compiler that turns Clojure into native binaries by first transpiling to Glojure (which I'd also never heard of before this), which in turn targets Go. This is rather than using a GraalVM native image, which as I understand it is at this point the better-explored mechanism of doing that for JVM-based stuff (but has its own trade-offs).

Very cool!

The demonym I've most commonly seen is Clojurian.

Clojurist makes it sound like adherents to a belief, which does imply identity though Clojurian more directly so. I’ve also found Clojurian most often. If only we had software that indexed the popularity of words…

In that case, Clojurians can be used for new initiates and Clojurists can be used for the most dogmatic Clojure supremacists, like myself.

Two of these projects are just AI. This is not very promising.

Neither of them is AI genetated software though. One is a fast Clojure LLM inference library, and the other a MCP server, both coded by humans, without AI.

I know at least one of them and it has already existed for a decade or so, and is a legit framework, so this isn’t some hype based thing.

And Clojure is legitimately good at data processing.

The MCP server is a relatively simple project, don’t think that’s a bad idea.
