ClojureDart is very similar to ClojureScript, which the GP is already comfortable with.

Ah, and there is also a new version of Clojure in active development - ClojureDart. It is a port of Clojure language to Dart with the primary goal of using Flutter framework and getting a native mobile and desktop UI.

Now https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart exist to build GUI with flutter.

There are ways, but it is generally a lot of work, for example there is ClojureDart https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart . Though unusually that sort of thing is normal for Clojure, because it is a hosted language (Clojure -> JVM, ClojureScript -> JS, etc).

Something to checkout for mobile and desktop is: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart

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, but 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.

There was always a tiny sparkle in me telling me that I want to develop mobile apps but I never pursued it. It always felt a bit complicated for me to learn development processes in a completely different industry. I did try developing mobile apps using React Native but it never felt right for me. Also, I already tried to write some Kotlin code and so far I like it, but the whole Android ecosystem is still pretty new to me and I feel there will be a lot to learn. Nevertheless, I will try to learn it in parallel with Elixir but Elixir will be my primary goal, and Kotlin / Android will go along depending on how much time I will have.

Recently, there has been a notable shift in mobile application development practices. Rather than creating separate applications for each native platform, many developers are opting for hybrid mobile frameworks like React Native.

React Native [ https://reactnative.dev/ ]

Versatility: JavaScript is not limited to web browsers. It's used in a variety of environments, including mobile app development (using frameworks like React Native), game development (using libraries like Phaser), and even serverless computing (using platforms like AWS Lambda).

In the competitive landscape of mobile app development, user experience (UX) has emerged as a critical differentiator. React Native, with its robust framework and versatile capabilities, offers developers a powerful toolkit to create seamless and engaging user experiences. This blog post delves into the design principles and best practices in React Native app development, uncovering how developers can elevate user experience to new heights and drive success in the digital realm.

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

Additionally, React Native, an extension of React.js, enables developers to create hybrid mobile applications with ease.

You don’t know what to do with your time while applying the 5th rule? Start small, tiny steps. If you can’t read much, start small, 15 minutes a day reading a technical article or even a book like Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch. You don’t like to read? Create small projects by using a framework you want to learn. Check for example: React framework.
