squint VS lambda.quest

Have you considered https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint ?

Personally I couldn't let go of Clojure's other advantages but at least using the syntax would let you step off the syntax churn bus

Interesting, in the CLJS space we recently got two new libraries in this space:

https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint Which is a thin layer on top of JS

https://github.com/squint-cljs/cherry Which is closer to CLJS semantics and data structures but compiles to .mjs files without any advanced optimizations etc.

I've also experimented a bit with Solid. Here's a SolidJS demo in squint: https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/blob/main/examples/solidjs/src/App.cljs It runs over here: https://squint-cljs.github.io/demos/squint/solidjs/ (The JS output is smaller than the favicon in that project!)

Maybe Squint https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint or Cherry might fit the bill. https://github.com/squint-cljs/cherry

Should you need a minimal sprinkle of JS, you can still generate this server side using squint (which works as a JVM library) as well, while shipping a pretty small JS library to your client.

Sounds like there's some overlap with squint there!

If you’re into Scheme, the Gambit compiler has a JS target and it even runs in the browser with a nice JS interop. You can play with it on https://lambda.quest (am the author of that website).

That's really cool, I've been wanting to take https://lambda.quest in a similar direction. Interactive tutorials are the future!

tl;dr: I've created a live-coding environment with Canvas, Web Audio and setTimeout, here's a demo: https://lambda.quest/?gist=8eb332073b3b29ace1e2855dfdbad98f

About the project

Lambda Quest is a live-coding environment in your browser.

Web Audio is not fun if you can't program timed events for it. E.g. a sequence of notes, or a volume envelope that changes over time. So I had to make the Scheme code asynchronous.

Scheme, just like JavaScript, is single-threaded and "synchronous". It needs a second process to tell it when to run a delayed call to achieve asynchronous behavior.

I've implemented [a macro](https://github.com/katspaugh/lambda.quest/blob/main/scheme/w...) (which is btw my first macro ever) to put a Scheme callback in a JS `setTimeout`.

Macros, for me, is such a mind-blowing thing. It was amazing to code one purposefully, to achieve a practical goal.
