Round 1 (correctness + dead code):
- Fix duplicate java.util.HashMap registration in host-static.ss: the alist
impl shadowed the hashtable ctor while leaving the hashtable methods bound,
so .keySet/.values/.remove/.clear crashed. Drop the alist version.
- Delete jolt-core/jolt/reader.clj: a 463-line dead duplicate reader, never
required or compiled (the live reader is host/chez/reader.ss) and drifted.
- Remove dead defs: ir/rt + :rt op + unused ir/op; the Janet branch in
clojure.edn/drain-reader; a shadowed first clojure.string/trim-newline;
io.ss jolt-char-array + the reader def-var (both shadowed by natives-array);
concurrency.ss jolt-future-done?*; compile-eval.ss jolt-analyze-emit.
Round 2 (perf + determinism):
- emit-quoted-map-value / quoted sets now emit sorted by emitted text instead
of host-hash order, which isn't stable across Chez versions (jolt-8479).
- jolt-into folds through a transient, so into/vec/mapv/filterv onto a vector
are O(n) instead of O(n^2).
- deps resolve-deps walks its queue with an index cursor (was subvec-per-pop).
- async channel and agent action queues use amortized-O(1) FIFOs; ArrayList is
backed by a growable vector (O(1) add/get) instead of a list.
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.
Rephrase comments that pointed at deleted Janet files (emit.janet, the seed
sources, 'the Janet back end punts ...') to present-tense descriptions of the
Chez behavior. Comment/docstring-only; the self-host fixpoint is unchanged
(comments don't affect the compiled seed).
Delete five files that were Janet-host shims with no Chez path: clojure.java.io
(provided natively by host/chez/io.ss), and jolt.{nrepl,png,interop,shell}
(the janet.* bridge, os/shell, janet.net — none exist on Chez).
jolt-cf1q.6
No mature Chez fibers library exists and this is a threaded Chez build, so a go
block is an OS thread and a channel is a mutex+condition blocking queue: <! / >!
are the blocking <!! / >!! and work anywhere (no CPS transform), like the Janet
stackful-fiber model but with real parallelism and a shared heap.
host/chez/async.ss provides chan (unbuffered rendezvous / fixed / dropping /
sliding), <! >! <!! >!! close! alts! timeout put! take! buffer ctors, channel
transducers, and go-spawn, all def-var!'d into clojure.core.async; go/go-loop/
thread are macros (mark-macro!) expanding to go-spawn, mirroring src/jolt/
async.janet. Binding conveyance rides the thread-parameter binding stack from
pt.1. alts! polls with a 1ms backoff (no cross-channel wait-set yet) and is
take-only, matching the Janet impl.
(require '[clojure.core.async ...]) resolves it with no file load — the vars are
resident and require just registers the :as/:refer.
cli-test covers go/buffered-drain/nested-<!/alts!/transducer/timeout/binding-
conveyance (43/43). core.async isn't in the conformance corpus (feature-gated
:async/core-async), so coverage is the Chez cli-test plus the existing Janet
core-async-spec. Seed unchanged (no .clj touched). Prelude corpus 2534->2559,
zero-Janet 2569, 0 new divergences on either; Janet gate + JVM cert green.
