ClojureScript cannot currently compile itself. The following enumerates the remaining tasks:
- ClojureScript compiler source conditionalized with feature expressions to support optional
bootstrap to JavaScript. In progress. - Add macro support by appending
cljs.core
macros to end of standard library and suppressing the usual redef warnings for this special case.
* you can use the CLJS API reference to help identify imported macros and related Clojure types
As a point of reference, https://github.com/kanaka/clojurescript is a previous project to bootstrap the ClojureScript compiler. It is fairly dated since it was forked from the main tree on Nov 16th, 2012, however, it was self-hosting and allowed for a fully browser-based REPL: http://clojurescript.net/ A presentation of the project from Clojure West 2013 is here: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/cljs-in-cljs
