Thanks all. I created a new FAQ page for Funcgo, seeded with the questions and answers from this forum. https://github.com/eobrain/funcgo/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md

I like Glojure. I am not sure if it is worth the hassle of changing the name, but I registered glojure.org just in case I decide to do so.

Glad to hear someone else has been thinking about this. Interesting idea to use macros to implement the mapping from the Go syntax tree. Presumably, these macros would implement th…

"Jo" seems it is hard to search for. "Gojure" is already taken by another Github project. I also considered "Clogure", but someone already had that too. Keep the suggestions coming…

I cannot say enough good things about Instaparse, which is a flex/bison/jison for Clojure. It's amazingly feature-full and very fast. I could not have built Funcgo without it. Big …

I do not plan to add to Funcgo the ability to easily create macros. Inspired by Go's philosophy, I want to limit the scope of the language to keep it somewhat simple. Funcgo howeve…
