Joker is a small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter written in Go.
As with Clojure, Joker supports “libraries” of code organized into namespaces. It offers a number of namespaces that are built-in to the Joker executable itself, as well as the ability to dynamically (at run time and on-demand) extend these namespaces via external Joker source files typically organized into directory trees and deployed alongside the Joker executable. (Currently, Joker does not support dynamic extension via non-Joker code, such as Go plugins.)
This is free and open source software.
