How do I compile ClojureScript files using this skill?

You can use the 'npx squint compile' command for one-off builds or 'just squint-watch' to automatically recompile files as they change during development.

When should I choose Squint over the Cherry runtime?

Choose Squint for small scripts and high-performance interop where minimal bundle size is critical. Choose Cherry if you require full ClojureScript semantics and persistent immutable data structures.

What is the primary advantage of Squint over standard ClojureScript?

Squint's primary advantage is its minimal size. By using native JavaScript data structures instead of persistent immutable ones, it reduces the runtime size from ~100KB to ~10KB.

Does Squint support native JavaScript interoperability?

Yes, Squint is designed for seamless interop. Because it uses native JS objects and arrays, you can pass data to and from JavaScript libraries without any conversion overhead.

Developer Tools

Compiles ClojureScript to lightweight, native JavaScript with minimal runtime overhead for high-performance web development.

About

The Squint Runtime skill enables Claude to leverage a specialized ClojureScript dialect designed for minimal output and high performance. Unlike traditional ClojureScript, Squint compiles directly to native JavaScript objects and arrays, resulting in a tiny 10KB runtime footprint. This makes it the ideal choice for developers who want the functional elegance of Clojure syntax while maintaining the speed and seamless interoperability of plain JavaScript in small scripts or performance-critical web components.

Key Features

Seamless JavaScript interoperability with zero conversion overhead
Support for ClojureScript syntax and functional programming patterns
Minimal runtime footprint of approximately 10KB
2 GitHub stars
Fast compilation with built-in watch mode for rapid development
Direct compilation to native JavaScript objects and arrays

Use Cases

Building lightweight browser scripts where bundle size is a primary concern
Developing high-performance UI components with native JS data structure speed
Integrating ClojureScript logic into existing JavaScript or TypeScript projects
