clojure-scheme VS ClojureRS

For me it's microcontrollers, however I've heard in spite of the unmaintained status, clojure-scheme[1] is very usable. It uses gambit to produce C-code you can compile anywhere.

> But wouldn't it make more sense to first rewrite Clojure itself in some small/minimal scheme-y subset of Clojure

How about Scheme?: https://github.com/takeoutweight/clojure-scheme

Note that this project is unmaintained and the last updates are ~10 years old.

lokke seems to use Guile's tooling (compiler tower, to be specific) to compile clojure-esque code to objects understood by said Guile's tooling. This is a little different from Clojurescript's approach which use ClojureJVM to transpile to javascript. There was actually another Clojure to Scheme project that leverages Clojurescript JVM transpiler: https://github.com/takeoutweight/clojure-scheme - It targets Gambit scheme instead of Guile

Same, shameless plug: https://github.com/clojure-rs/ClojureRS

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.
