Clojure iOS Development

clojure, cross-compiling, ios

Solution

You can run clojure on iOS by compiling clojure to scheme, https://github.com/takeoutweight/clojure-scheme

Problem

Over the past months, I've pretty much fallen in love with Clojure and refuse to use anything else. I am aware that there is ClojureScript, which uses Google Closure to compile a subset of Clojure to JavaScript. Is there anything similar in the works for Objective-C/Cocoa? I would love to be able to prototype applications in Clojure, and then get an iOS app out of it. [I'm perfectly fine if this prevents me from all the low level details of iOS -- I don't need access to any low level details (say pointer arithmetic) that I can't do in Java -- I just want to be able to easily transform my Clojure Apps onto the iOS]
