This is INC, my own little experimental and ridiculously naive implementation of a Clojure-like language implemented in F#, these being hands down my two favourite programming languages (with F# still a clear preference over Clojure.)
INC is directly based on the awesome Fscheme from Ashley Feniello.

I'm sort of stuck with this project, and doubt that it is really worth investing much more time in, given that there is already a perfectly decent implementation of Clojure for the CLR, and that I am already a bit out of my depth with it. I was originally hoping to use it to try to build a bridge to Datomic from f# / .net, but I now think that's probably a silly idea.
- Vectors. (The first thing I did and the most satisfying)
- Macros. (A pretty fair rendition of Clojure even if I do say so myself :)
- Lazy-seq's. (Ditto.)
- Stm/Refs. (Not really tested though. All I did really was include an f# implementation I found on the interwebs.)
- Agents/Atoms. (Again not really tested)
- Interop with .NET code
- Namespaces. (very basic support only)
- Protocols / Datatypes (not implemented)
- Transients.
.. and much, much more.
My name is Gary Stephenson. I live in Sydney, Australia.
I am pushing 60 these days, and have been programming on and off for forty odd years, yet still find myself obsessed with it, and constantly disappointed with how badly I still suck at it (although I take some comfort in not being alone in this regard!).
My email is [email protected]. I am not currently employed, and may be interested in paid work involving either F# or Clojure (which is really the only reason I am publishing this code at all).
