Introduction

Calcit scripting language.

an interpreter for calcit snapshot, and hot code swapping friendly.

Calcit is an interpreter built with Rust, and also a JavaScript code emitter. It's inspired mostly by ClojureScript. Calcit-js emits JavaScript in ES Modules syntax.

You can try Calcit WASM build online for simple snippets.

There are several interesting ideas experiementing in Calcit:

  • Calcit code is stored in a data snapshot file, pairs with Calcit Editor, you may perform structural editing.
  • while Calcit is dynamically typed, patttern matching of tagged unions is experiemented.

Other features of Calcit are mostly inherited from ClojureScript. I use Calcit-js mostly for web development with Respo, the virtual DOM library migrated from ClojureScript version.
