Wisp is a homoiconic JavaScript dialect with Clojure syntax, s-expressions and macros.
Language essentials & documentation.
Think of wisp as markdown for JavaScript programming, but with the added subtlety of LISP S-expressions, homoiconicity and powerful macros that make it the easiest way to write JavaScript.
Why wouldn't I just use ClojureScript?
For 99% of use-cases you probably should just use ClojureScript.
However, here are some niches that wisp might fill:
- Compiles down to readable JavaScript.
- No complicated stack or setup - contributors only need a browser.
- Including it in a project can be as simple as a single
<script>tag. - Close interop with native JavaScript - no
js/prefix, uses JS types.
