ClojureRS

Code thats written in Lisp is using AST differently. It makes the process of generating machine code much easier. This in turn enables macros which is meta programming not available in non Lisp languages. However on the other hand I tried this avenue and since most modern computing is not Lisp based it severely limits its potential. I'm hoping for a Rust based Clojure or variant. Clojure has the problem its based on the java ecosystem which has severe downsides. A lisp thats based on python doesnt make much sense to me personally python isnt a good language to write other languages in. I think Zig and Rust would be the interesting choices.

Basically, you take a programming language and make it work on a platform that meant to be programmed using a different PL. Clojure is hosted by design - it's not Java, but can be used to program for JVM. It ain't Javascript, yet can be used to target nodejs and browser; not an [official] CLR language, but you can write .Net programs. You can use Clojure to make Flutter apps with ClojureDart. You can integrate Python into Clojure with libpython-clj. Or write Clojure to target Erlang/OTP; or Rust; or R; There's even a clojure-like language for Lua - Fennel. There's something about Clojure people like so much, they want it to work atop any platform. https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart https://github.com/clj-python/libpython-clj https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl https://github.com/clojure-rs/ClojureRS https://github.com/scicloj/cloj

Heh, I'm likewise the author of a newer Clojure dialect, Clojure RS (https://github.com/clojure-rs/ClojureRS), would that be enough to get considered? I'd love the job just to work with candid82 alone :) (Also, I was linked here from reddit -- I've never used hackernews mostly, I have no idea if I'm posting this response in the right spot)
