cljs-xulrunner

Tools to bring Clojurescript to XULRunner programs: Firefox, Thunderbird, Conkeror.

Usage

• After cloning, compile

lein cljsbuild once

• Install MozRepl.
• Open the REPL.
• Follow the instructions in src/js/run.js.

Highlights

• Potentially have access to the whole XULRunner runtime, not just a page's context.

TODOs

• Fix prints scheduled by timeout/interval being ignored. To be fair clojure.browser.repl has the same problem! As an aside, this is better solved on the printing side (in Clojure).
• Allow runtime addition of dependencies.
• Make a REPL extension to stop piggy-backing on MozRepl..
• Swap client-server role (XULRunner programs should be servers).
• Add other transports (TCP, WebSockets).
• Set it up so that goog.require can load from jar files.
• Add more introspection features.
• Firefox dev tool!
