Clojure hosted on Chez Scheme (same as Racket). So cool. I tried building a standalone executable for the Chess game in my Clojure book using "jolt build -m chess-game.cli -o chess_jolt" and it simply worked great.

I tried again with a datomic demo and it needed the source code to the open source version of datomic, so I need to do some work on that.

Curious about the executable size and performance. Mark, you started me on AI with your, "Common LISP Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory". I have never been able to fully leave Lisp behind. I'll have to try this on my linux box. What's your take on using jolt practically for work vs. learning? Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words.

I just built the Chess example in my Clojure book and the executable was a tiny 18M.

Thank you! How about performance? Do you see Jolt evolving into something more useable for real work, or is it too niche and not capable enough? I always loved Racket. How does Jolt compare? I'll give it a try this weekend.
