What it does

Ferret is a free software Clojure implementation, it compiles a restricted subset of the Clojure language to self contained ISO C++11 which allows for the use of Clojure in real time embedded control systems. It has been verified to run on architectures ranging from embedded systems with as little as 2KB of RAM to general purpose computers running Linux/Mac OS X/Windows. Unlike other Lisp implementations Ferret is specifically tailored for real time control applications, provides deterministic execution and gives you total control on memory management. (Achilles heel of high level languages for hard real time control). Ferret programs when running on embedded systems or in single threaded…from nakkaya.com
