Bring the docs in line with the actual implementation now that Chez is the sole
substrate.
Deleted the migration/spike/handoff artifacts that only documented the Janet
era or the port effort: the port plan, phase-0 and foundational-runtime spike
writeups (+ the stray root-level copy), the self-hosting design notes, the
architecture-refactor plan, and spike/chez/RESULTS.md.
Rewrote the current reference docs against the Chez facts: building-and-deps and
tools-deps (no jpm/build step — bin/joltc off the checked-in seed, deps via
jolt.deps into ~/.jolt/gitlibs), libraries (SQLite is built-in jdbc.core over
libsqlite3, not a Janet driver), the conformance/spec test-flow docs (the Chez
corpus runner + certify, no .janet harnesses), and the transient / type-hint /
seed-overlay design notes (Chez representations: mutable transients, flat
copy-on-write vectors, HAMT maps, the seed/overlay twin). Fixed the README
collections line (vectors aren't 32-way tries) and added the ffi/transient gate
targets. rfc 0001's numerics open-question is resolved (the Scheme tower).
Renamed the built-in HTTP adapter to jolt.http.server only (dropped the
ring-janet.adapter alias — a Janet-era name).
Pivot from a jolt reimplementation to running the upstream library verbatim.
Vendors the real clojure/tools/logging.clj; jolt provides the backend and the
host primitives it needs. Language features (broadly useful for real Clojure
libs), all covered in 3-mode conformance + spec suites:
- defmacro: multi-arity dispatch (jolt-q8l) and a docstring + attr-map + params
head (jolt-qnr) — the 4-arity log macro and every level macro need these.
- syntax-quote resolves an alias-qualified symbol to its target ns (jolt-9av),
so a macro template (impl/get-logger) resolves at the use site.
- the ns macro unwraps ^{:map} metadata on the ns name (jolt-8w2 workaround,
matching def/defn/defmacro).
- a namespace object self-evaluates, so ~*ns* can be spliced into a template.
Host shims (ported from / modeled on clojure where applicable):
- clojure.string/trim-newline (ported, CharSequence interop -> count/subs)
- agent/send-off/send (minimal synchronous stubs; jolt has no thread pool/STM)
- clojure.lang.LockingTransaction/isRunning -> false
- a minimal clojure.pprint (pprint/with-pprint-dispatch/code-dispatch, for spy)
- clojure.tools.logging.impl: a jolt stderr LoggerFactory backend (the library's
designed pluggable extension point)
docs/libraries.md lists tools.logging; grammar.ebnf metadata note clarified.
Conformance 355/355 x3 modes; full jpm test gate green.
Everything reitit-core needs to load unmodified from git under :clj features:
- The baked binary now re-reads JOLT_FEATURES at startup (like JOLT_PATH).
reader-features-set! runs at module load = BUILD time for a binary, so a
process opting into :clj (to read a lib's :clj branches) was ignored, and
unmatched #?(...) forms silently spliced to nothing — defn of a fn with an
empty arglist, hence the cryptic index errors.
- (get s i) indexes a string and returns the char, as in Clojure (nth did;
get returned nil). reitit's path parser is (get path i)-based — without
this every route read as static.
- Class-shim registration exposed to Clojure: __register-class-statics! /
__register-class-methods! / __register-class-ctor!, so a library can mirror
a Java class jolt doesn't ship (the reitit.Trie mirror lives in jolt-lang/
router on top of these).
- Java surface reitit's :clj branches call: .getMessage (on exceptions and
strings) and a small universal object-method set, .intern, java.util.HashMap
(a mutable map wrapper). Plus defprotocol already took keyword options.
Gate green; clojure-test-suite 4715 -> 4718 (the get-on-strings fix).
Clojure's defprotocol takes an optional docstring and leading keyword
options (:extend-via-metadata true) before the signatures; jolt's macro
fed the option keyword to (first sig). honeysql declares its InlineValue
protocol exactly that way — with the fix, all four honeysql namespaces
load unmodified from git and the formatter produces correct sqlvecs for
selects/inserts/updates/deletes/joins/:inline. Listed in libraries.md.
