ClojureScript: The Essence of Alchemy
summary
ClojureScript compiles Clojure to JavaScript and uses Google Closure Compiler for aggressive dead‑code elimination and inlining, enabling a large standard library to shrink from thousands of lines to compact JS. Benchmarks claim transients outperform mutable arrays on V8 and pattern matching runs half a million times in a second; a Prolog zebra puzzle solves in about 14ms in the browser. Project dates to July 21 2011 and lists 51 contributors.
