Sessions at Strange Loop 2012 about Transpiler on Monday 24th September Conference

Transpiling a language with richer semantics than the target language always presents some fascinating challenges with regards to performance. In this talk we’ll explore the variety of strategies employed to get ClojureScript to perform well on modern JavaScript engines. We’ll look at how ClojureScript optimizes code size, expression-oriented semantics, numerics, operations on JS primitive types, persistent data structures, and polymorphic function dispatch.
