I resurrected Clojure-Android – native Clojure on your phone over nREPL

In plain words

Clojure-Android enables developers to write and run native Clojure applications on Android devices using nREPL for interactive development. It provides a declarative DSL for building user interfaces with reactive cells, integrates device sensors as reactive data sources, and simplifies Android callbacks. The framework supports deployment to F-Droid and Google Play, with release builds launching in under two seconds on older midrange phones.

From the sources

clj-android has 9 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Google plans to prevent most Android users from installing apps unless the developer registers with Google, giving Google the power to ban developers and apps it doesn't like. See https://keepandroidopen.org/ for what you can do about it. Clone the sample app and follow the build instructions in its README. It's a template repository and CC0 license, so you are encouraged to use it as a starting point for your own apps. This is not very mature at this point. A lot of the code was written by a robot; it's plausible, but not necessarily correct , and it works on my machine (tm). I've used this to build Ceilingbounce , a datalogging app for flashlight reviewers. It's hand written so I've had…from github.com

  I made a Clojure-like language in Go, boots in 7msMay 2026 · github.com · ▲292

  Let-go is a Clojure-like language (~90% compatible with JVM Clojure) written in pure Go. It ships as a ~10MB static binary and cold boots in ~7ms - that's about 50x faster than JVM and 3x faster than Babashka. It has decent throughput on algorithmic workloads - within ballpark of the GraalVM-backed sci. I started this project in 2021 as an elaborate practical joke: I wanted to have an excuse for writing Clojure while pretending to write Go. Jokes aside, it turned out to be pretty decent: it feels like real Clojure, it has an nREPL server (supported in Calva, CIDER, etc.), it's easily…

  Programming Google Flutter with Clojure2022 · github.com · ▲159

  This proof-of-concept project combines: - Flutter, from Google; - ClojureDart, port of Clojure to Dart from Tensegritics; and - Matrix, a reactive framework from moi. So, yes, we can now program Flutter with a Lisp. Yay. Project includes dozens of working examples and a full implementation of the TodoMVC classic to help tire-kickers play around. Support installing freely available on the #matrix channel on the Clojurians Slack.

  Hi HN! 2d spritesheets for game development are often distributed as a PNG image, sometimes with a separate JSON or XML metadata document describing the layout, including any animation sequences within the sheet. Sometimes there is no metadata document and you have to work it out and manually write custom code to chop up the spritesheet and reference the sprites you want. I think it would be good if it became standard practice to distribute spritesheet PNGs with the metadata inline inside a PNG "chunk" so the whole thing is self-contained. That way artists can just distribute one file, and…
