The printer's two entry points (jolt-pr-str in rt.ss, jolt-pr-readable in printing.ss)
get register-pr-str-arm! / register-pr-readable-arm!, plus register-pr-arm! for the
types whose str and readable forms match (bigdec/inst/uuid/tagged/record/ns/var). The
normalize arms (sorted, lazy-seq, queue) and the uri readable arm register per-printer.
Also folds in the hash (dyn-binding var-cell), class (io uri/uuid/file), and get
(transients) arms missed earlier.
natives-array's get stays a case-lambda wrapper on purpose: its 2-arg path errors on
an out-of-bounds index while the 3-arg path returns the default, an arity distinction
the (coll k d) registry collapses — left as-is to preserve behaviour.
Completes jolt-lmot: all six dispatchers (hash/class/get/=/pr-str/pr-readable) off the
set!-rebind chains. make test green, 0 new corpus divergences; pr-str/str of inst,
uuid, bigdec, sorted-map, record-with-lazyseq, queue all verified.
jolt-get (4 sites: host-table/natives-misc/inst-time/records) and jolt=2 (6 sites:
records/vars/inst-time/natives-misc/bigdec/host-table) move off the set!-rebind
chains to register-get-arm! / register-eq-arm!. get's case-lambda becomes a stable
2/3-arg entry over a 3-arg dispatch; the equality arm pred is (a b) since either arg
may carry the type, and the host-table sorted arm normalizes-then-re-dispatches.
Behaviour-preserving (runtime .ss): var/inst/bigdec/record/uuid equality, record!=map,
sorted-map=plain-map, and all the get cases verified; make test green, 0 new corpus
divergences. Four of six dispatchers done; the printer (pr-str/pr-readable) remains.
Replace the set!-capture-and-rebind chains extending jolt-hash (3 sites: inst-time/
host-table/records) and jolt-class (3 sites: bigdec/natives-queue/host-table) with a
register-hash-arm! / register-class-arm! registry (the pattern already used by
register-str-render!). The base dispatcher walks its arms — disjoint types, so order
is immaterial — then falls to the base cases. The entry is stable, so the per-site
(def-var! "clojure.core" "class" …) re-points are gone.
Behaviour-preserving (runtime .ss, no re-mint): jinst hash, bigdec/queue/record
class, record hash, and a sorted-map hashing as its plain map all verified; make test
green, 0 new corpus divergences. First two of six dispatchers; get/=/pr-str follow.
jolt-str-render-one and instance-check were each extended by a chain of
set!-wrapping closures spread across ~10 and ~5 host files, so the real
behavior of either was scattered and load-order-dependent. Give each a
registry the base file owns: converters.ss/records-interop.ss define the
registry plus a register-* helper, and each extending file registers one arm
instead of capturing %prev and set!-ing the global.
str-render arms are type-disjoint; instance-check arms run newest-first (the
old outermost-wins order) and may return 'pass to defer. The string-token ->
symbol normalization the natives-array arm did for every inner arm moves to
the dispatcher head; array tokens stay strings for that arm to decide.
jolt-ogib.14. Runtime-only shims, no re-mint.
Rename src/jolt -> stdlib (the runtime-loaded layer; jolt-core stays the
seed-baked layer) and update the loader / emit-image / doc paths. Drop dead
code: the spike/ experiments, the duplicate clojuredocs-export.edn (json moves
to tools/), the Janet-era jolt.http binding, and the orphaned
persistent_vector.clj whose ns/path didn't even match.
Strip porting residue from comments and docstrings across host/chez, jolt-core,
stdlib, tests, and docs: internal issue ids, "Phase N" markers, and the "vs
Janet" historical exposition, leaving present-tense descriptions and the real
JVM-Clojure semantic contrasts. Same pass over the corpus suite labels. The seed
is unchanged (docstrings/comments aren't emitted), so the self-host fixpoint and
corpus are untouched.
Port tools/spec_coverage.py off the dead janet probe to bin/joltc and regenerate
coverage.md; drop the dead :host/janet rule from certify.clj and regenerate the
conformance profile. Add docs/host-interop.md (the JVM shims and how to register
your own host class from a library) and a writing-style note in CLAUDE.md.
Stabilize the four racy concurrency corpus cases (future-cancel and agent
send/send-off): give the future a sleeping body and the agent a slow action, so
cancel reliably catches an in-flight future and deref reliably reads the
pre-update snapshot. They certify deterministically now, so drop their :flaky
allowlist entries and the orphaned legend.
bigdec / 1.5M / 0.0M silently produced doubles. Add a jbigdec value type
{unscaled, scale} over Chez exact integers (host/chez/bigdec.ss): value =
unscaled * 10^-scale. An M-suffix literal reads to a :bigdec form that the back
end lowers to jolt-bigdec-from-string (same IR-leaf path as #inst/#uuid); bigdec
coerces a number/string. Equality is by value (1.0M = 1.00M true, 3M = 3 false),
str drops the M and pr keeps it, class is java.math.BigDecimal, decimal? is true.
Arithmetic contagion isn't modelled (out of scope). The old corpus cases passed
spuriously as doubles; they now exercise a genuine BigDecimal.
