I wrote a Rust / tree-sitter program to detect reify usage in Clojure code a while ago: https://github.com/borkdude/analyze-reify (partially for learning Rust but also performance is really nice). I wanted to extend this to more advanced patterns and do it in Clojure itself, because that's what I'm most productive with. The reason I wanted to know more about this specific pattern is to answer the question if it's relevant enough for scripting. If so, I should probably support that in my Clojure interpreter (https://github.com/borkdude/sci) which is used in babashka (https://github.com/borkdude/babashka), a fast starting scripting environment for Clojure. After seeing Grape (https://github.com/bfontaine/grape) I connected the dots and figured I could do this using clojure.spec. I usually hang out on Clojurians Slack (channels: babashka, sc

I hear you, GraalVM is pretty new and while I've managed to write and deploy plenty of clis using it without any problems, it's a big hassle to deal with anything GUI or server related. So it does have a long way to go. And while Babashka is not Clojure, it's interpreter (sci - https://github.com/borkdude/sci) is in fact a "Small Clojure Interpreter" that tries to stay as close to Clojure as possible. Unless you're using the Java interop, I've yet to hit anything I cannot do in Babashka that I could do in Clojure (I barely use Java interop)

You should check Michiel Borkent's work (borkdude): - Babashka: https://github.com/borkdude/babashka - Clj-kondo: https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo - Sci: https://github.com/borkdude/sci - Jet: https://github.com/borkdude/jet But again, those are tools (especially babashka) from a Clojurist's perspective

Also noteworthy, Babashka is powered by the Small Clojure Interpreter [1] (same author) which has additional applications. Both are very promising! [1] https://github.com/borkdude/sci
