Targeting Clojure & ClojureScript from a Single Codebase
summary
cljx implements feature expressions to transform a single .cljx codebase into platform-specific Clojure and ClojureScript sources, preserving line/column info so stack traces map to original files. It integrates with Leiningen and provides nREPL integration to load cljx files on the fly, produces ordinary .clj/.cljs outputs, and is used by libraries like prismatic schema and DoubleCheck for a seedable RNG example. Limitations: no automatic portable macros and annotations can clutter code.
