Earlier quoted context omitted.

FWIW, I tried ClojureDart a little while back, had a good time, but thought to myself, "I'll be back when they have a REPL working." At that time you guys were saying things in the Slack like, "We already have a working prototype behind closed doors, it just needs polish. We'll be ready to release it soon." It was very exciting. That was... six months ago. :) So... I guess I'll keep waiting.

(a) Is six months a long time? (b) And then they delivered successfully. (c) Not seeing a problem. I know, I have been beating on CLJD like I was its Daddy wrapping it in a reactive framework, despite their warning that there would be surprises. I had one problem that turned out to be a simple bug in CLJD. I also follow their channel on the #clojurians Slack and see they are doing a profoundly deep job on the compile…

Parent comment says: REPL is a priority to me, do you have that? cgrand's comment says: Not yet, but probably soon! Here's a link to donate My comment says: Before you donate, here's some context for what "soon" likely means Your comment says........?

No cgrand didn’t say it’s coming soon, he said they’re working on it and donate to get it “sooner.” Is it possible you are having similar accuracy issues recalling what he said on Slack months ago?

Are you basically saying that I can build my front end using clojure? I really want to learn clojure and use flutter for a personal project... are there are any reasons not go down this path? (E.g. the "official" implementation of flutter is more secure?, etc.) Thank you for the cool project

For sure. You could also build front-ends with Clojure using htmx. It really simplifies building dynamic front-ends by allowing you to return to the hypermedia model with server-side rendering. It has been fantastic. No ClojureScript. Just a normal Java Clojure REPL.
