jolt-ti9: sorted-map/sorted-set are now first-class across the collection fns —
get/assoc/dissoc/conj/contains?/keys/vals/disj and call-as-fn all operate on the
wrapper and preserve sort order. The by-comparator constructors (sorted-map-by/
sorted-set-by) now thread the user comparator (numeric or boolean-predicate) through
all derived colls. Sorted predicates/ctors/ops moved above core-conj so the
collection fns can branch on them; jolt-invoke (interpreter) gets inline branches.
jolt-rfw: add with-out-str (binds output to a string buffer) + the macro.
jolt-ek3: (rand n) arity and deref-of-reduced (uuid? still deferred).
Specs: new io-spec.janet; sorted-spec expanded to pin the now-working map/set ops
and by-comparator ordering; predicate/number spec restorations.
* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 5a — compile defmulti + defmethod
defmulti/defmethod become macros (30-macros) over ctx-capturing
clojure.core fns (defmulti-setup/defmethod-setup, interned by
install-stateful-fns!):
- defmulti: (defmulti name dispatch & opts) -> (defmulti-setup 'name
dispatch ~@opts). name quoted; dispatch + opts (:default/:hierarchy)
evaluated. defmulti-setup builds the dispatch closure over the method
table and interns the var (same hierarchy/default/cache behavior).
- defmethod: (defmethod mm dval & fn-tail) -> (defmethod-setup 'mm dval
(fn ~@fn-tail)). The method impl is now a COMPILED (fn …) (was an
interpreted fn* eval). Auto-creates the multimethod if missing.
- removed their special-symbol? entries + eval-list arms, and dropped them
from host_iface special-names + loader stateful-head?.
Both compile + interpret as plain invokes; dispatch incl. :default and
derive/hierarchy works in both modes.
Tests: evaluator-test (defmulti case) + namespace-test now use init (these
forms are overlay macros now, so a bare make-ctx lacks them).
Gate green: conformance 269x3, fallback-zero 38/4, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, sci-bootstrap, clojure-test-suite
>=4034/67, features 78/78, all unit + spec (multimethods 16/16).
* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 5b — compile deftype + defrecord
deftype becomes a macro (30-macros) over make-deftype-ctor (a ctx-capturing
clojure.core fn that bakes the ns-qualified type tag at def time) plus
extend-type for any inline protocol methods — so it compiles as a plain (do …).
Mirrors defrecord's existing field-let/protocol-grouping pattern.
- make-deftype-ctor-impl (evaluator) builds the ctor; interned as a closure.
- removed the deftype special-symbol? entry + eval-list arm; dropped deftype/
defrecord from host_iface special-names + loader stateful-head?.
- defrecord no longer redefines ->name via (Name. …) interop (frozen) — deftype
already provides ->name, so defrecord compiles too (map->name builds via it).
- field-kws spliced into a vector LITERAL ([~@…]) so the analyzer sees a vector
form, not a runtime pvec; type name + fields are unwrapped of ^meta (the reader
yields (with-meta sym m) forms, e.g. sci's (deftype ^{:doc …} Var …)).
With tier 5a, all of deftype/defrecord/defmulti/defmethod compile. The loader's
interpret-only set is now just the frozen host-coupled forms: defmacro/set!/./
new/eval.
Tests: evaluator-test deftype case uses init (deftype is an overlay macro now);
fallback-zero moves deftype off must-punt, adds deftype/defrecord/defmulti/
defmethod to must-compile (43/3).
Gate green (full jpm build + jpm test): conformance 269x3, fallback-zero 43/3,
bootstrap-fixpoint stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, sci-bootstrap
422/0, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67, all unit + spec.

* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 2a — compile defprotocol/extend-type/extend-protocol
Applies the proven enabler: stateful primitives become per-ctx closures
captured over ctx, interned in clojure.core (install-stateful-fns!), so
they resolve + compile as plain :var invokes and work for deferred calls.
- protocol-dispatch / register-method: extracted from the interpreter
special handlers into ctx-taking impls (protocol-dispatch-impl /
register-method-impl) + interned as ctx-capturing clojure.core fns.
Removed their special-symbol? entries + handler arms, and dropped them
from host_iface special-names + compiler uncompilable-heads.
- defprotocol/extend-type/extend-protocol macros now pass the protocol/
method/type NAMES as strings (not symbols), so the emitted calls compile
as ordinary invokes; removed the three macros from special-names so the
analyzer expands+compiles them instead of punting to the interpreter.
- Both interpreter and compiled paths now call the same ctx-capturing
closures (one dispatch implementation, no special-form duplication).
reify/make-reified deferred to tier 2b (map-eval shape); defrecord waits
on deftype (tier 5).
Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67,
features 78/78, all unit + spec (protocols 7/7, multimethods 9/9).
* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 2b — compile reify (make-reified as a fn)
Completes the protocol machinery: make-reified joins protocol-dispatch/
register-method as a ctx-capturing clojure.core fn (install-stateful-fns!).
- make-reified-impl takes the EVALUATED {keyword fn} method map (a phm when
compiled, struct/table when interpreted) and builds the reified object.
- reify macro passes the protocol NAME as a string; method map is an ordinary
map literal evaluating to {keyword fn}.
- Removed make-reified's special-symbol? entry + handler arm, and dropped
make-reified + reify from host_iface special-names + compiler
uncompilable-heads.
reify now compiles and dispatches in both modes (single- and multi-method).
With tier 2a, the full protocol surface (defprotocol/extend-type/
extend-protocol/reify) compiles; defrecord still waits on deftype (tier 5).
Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67,
features 78/78, all unit + spec (protocols 7/7x3).
* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 3 — compile (var x) + binding
binding keys its thread-binding frame on var cells via (var x), so it
needed (var x) to compile. Added a the-var IR node that emits the embedded
var cell itself (vs var-ref, which derefs):
- ir.clj: the-var node.
- analyzer: 'var' added to handled; analyze-special resolves the symbol to
its var and emits the-var (uncompilable for a non-var, matching Clojure).
- backend: :the-var emits (quote cell) — the exact per-ctx cell var-get
keys on, so a compiled binding overrides + restores correctly.
- removed var from loader stateful-head? + host_iface special-names, and
binding from special-names so it expands+compiles.
Dynamic binding now compiles end-to-end (override/restore, and a compiled
fn reading the dynamic var under the binding) in both modes.
Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67, features 78/78,

adds self-hosted compiler is functionally:
- The default compile path is the portable pipeline using jolt.analyzer (Clojure) → host-neutral IR → backend.janet.
- The analyzer is itself Clojure, compiled by jolt for true self-hosting.
- bootstrap-fixpoint passes (stage1 == stage2 == stage3): rebuilding the compiler on its own output.
- clojure.core is now self-hosted in the overlay.
- Stateful forms (defmacro/ns/deftype/defmulti/require/in-ns) are interpreted by design.
