Love the demo for 9social! I'm not a user myself but I'm always inspired by the Plan 9 ways :)

Thanks for checking it out!

I started publishing amd64 and arm (32) binaries for Plan 9 in GH releases. I tested the amd64 one on 9front and everything seems to work. The CLI is not very Plan9-y but I'm happy to make the port more native at some point :)

Ah, awesome!

I'll head over to the releases.

I think Gloat/Glojure has the best hosted runtime story because of its AOT to Go src pipeline - you can grab anything Go at compile time. OTOH let-go can roundtrip any Go value including structs, functions and channels but it does not allow pulling arbitrary go libs without wrapping them up first - they'd need to be built into the runtime for this.

The JVM itself - yes, but then you need to wait for Clojure itself. Clojure is famously slow because it interns a bunch of stuff and computes var references every time it boots. I never intended for let-go to be a race car but small distro, low memory usage and snappy start are its priorities at the moment.

There is one being made in C http://mino-lang.org/

Naming is hard but I like let-go, it's a layered pun :)

(let [...] (go ...))

It lets you let in Go!

Clogo is a no-go for me. Maybe you have some other ideas? I'll consider good ones :)

FWIW I like let-go a lot as the name.

I'm relieved that clogo is not an option for you. It has some strong, malodorous campground toilet connotations to my foreign-language-trained ears. Loogo? Pottygo? Go number 2? Yikes to all of those.

And now, as bonus content, for something completely different: https://youtu.be/M3-51DhOzHE?

I laughed, audibly :D

Gojure is simplest. Just a bit close to Glojure which is already taken.

Goclo, Gophoj,Gorjure ..ok my tongue is paining now verbally trying out combos.

Actually, look what I just found https://github.com/tcard/gojure 12 years!

Changing name to Gojure now would only add to the confusion :D

Thank you! If you ever want to contribute PRs and issues are warmly welcomed :)

Thanks! I've been looking into custom runtimes for AWS Lambda and I think it's not going to be hard to have let-go lambdas. Even though the language is not 100% compatible it should be enough for request handlers and data processing. Throughput isn't on par with JITed impls but it's not bad enough to be impractical IMO

What I appreciate about Joker is how smoothly it wraps Go libs. It seems that they have covered everything that Go has to offer.

I'm trying to avoid adding too much though, I like that let-go fits in 10MB :)

Fixed, thanks! It's 6-7ms on my machine. Median seems to be around 6.5ms :)
