Graal and Clojure

[Jules Gosnell]

Doug,

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back - I've been busy playing with 
code.

I currently have a small clojure testsuite up and running. I plan to 
broaden this and then think about providing it in a junit-compatible way 
to your project.

I still haven't made up my mind exactly what I should be testing. It 
seems unnecessary to duplicate all your tests in Clojure, since you are 
already guarding against regression in these areas - I think I will 
start out with a fairly general set of tests as I probe for particular 
problem areas for Clojure, into which I may dive for more detail - time 
will tell... if you have any ideas, please let me know.

I've checked my stuff in at github, if anyone is interested - here is 
the project:

https://github.com/JulesGosnell/clumatra

here is some clojure that I reverse engineered from GraalKernelTester:

https://github.com/JulesGosnell/clumatra/blob/master/src/clumatra/core.clj

and here are the first successful tests:

https://github.com/JulesGosnell/clumatra/blob/master/test/clumatra/core_test.clj

not very pretty yet - I am still feeling my way.

cheers


Jules
