There should be a Clojure based on C or Rust or a Clojure without garbage collection. High performance backend just can't be done in Clojure.

That's really an interesting project, thanks for sharing!

Now about all the other Clojure features...immutable, persistent collections by default, built-in async library, spec, standardized way of handling state and concurrency, and many more...

Clojure has been around for a decade, so it'll be a long while before Carp starts matching its features and ecosystem.
