Crawling Inside the Tauntaun
summary
Generates ClojureScript at runtime and hits “everything undefined” because a lazy map delays symbol-resolution; fixes by cloning ClojureScript, adding prints, and wrapping the map in a small do — weeks of debugging for five missing characters. Encounters missing externs under a JBoss-style classloader, works around it with with-redefs to swap all-classpath-urls. Solves Transit+MessagePack caching by injecting a Java proxy fake write-cache via Java interop. Shows exploiting the language-as-library model to instrument compilers and bend libraries.
