ObjClj

ObjClj (rhymes with "hodgepodge") probably needs a new name, but it's kind of fun to say.

The goal of this project is to emit C code from Clojure, enabling the use of more powerful macros and code generation than the C preprocessor alone.

Example:

(c
  (include stdio)
  (defn void greet
    [char* name]
    (printf "Hello, %s\n" name))
  (defn int main
    [int argc, char** argv]
    (if (< 1 argc)
      (let [char* name (nth argv 1)]
        (greet name))
      (printf "What's your name?\n"))
    (return 0)))

Should (but currently does not, sorry) yield:

#include <stdio.h>

void greet(char* name) {
  printf("Hello, %s\n", name);
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  if (1 < argc) {
    char* name = (argv)[1];
    greet(name);
  } else {
    printf("What's your name?\n");
  }
  return 0;
}
