I just saw this - works great to build small self contained apps. (I just tested on macOS, also supports Linux).

Clojure hosted on Chez Scheme (same as Racket). So cool. I tried building a standalone executable for the Chess game in my Clojure book using "jolt build -m chess-game.cli -o chess_jolt" and it simply worked great.

I tried again with a datomic demo and it needed the source code to the open source version of datomic, so I need to do some work on that.
