Interesting idea, combining Lisp syntax with Go's stdlib and single binary distribution
From 3 comments
Interesting, looks almost like how you'd write Go using S-expressions. Seems like you have access to the stdlib from the examples. I wonder if you could use other Go libraries. I…
howeyc on HNAlong these lines, do people here think porting Clojure to use the Go VM a worthwhile endeavor? Or, to the contrary, if one just wants to avoid the JVM, would it just be better…

Documentation is thin and the prelude is unclear

It may be a naive quesiton, but what does "prelude" mean in this context? I get that I can use this to emit go code from gisp, and compile that. But the example under the heading…
e12e on HNThank you four your reply. I had my suspicions that might be the issue (the shorthand/differences between gsp/gisp in particular). I also played a bit with the simple factorial…
e12e on HNGood to hear :-) Btw, I'm still not sure what "prelude" means in this context...

Example code from gisp does not compile or run with gsp
From 2 comments
As far as I know, that's "regular gisp (rm $(command -v gisp); go get -u github.com/jcla1/gisp), and the full hello.go it produces is: cat hello.gsp (ns main "/fmt" "/net/http")…

jgalt212 on HNTo clarify: I have been looking for something along these lines because my company is looking to invest heavily into Clojure. We come from a Java/JVM environment, and we are very…

You should be able to reach any Go library, in fact. Aside from the Prelude, the Gsp Stdlib[0] is in fact just bindings to the Go stdlib that casts every value from interface{}…
