Github says it's written mostly in Clojure but it doesn't look like clojure - it appears to be 'pfront' - does anyone have any opinions on pfront?


Github is using some weird heuristics for detecting languages, and, apparently, multiple 'fun' tokens bends it towards Clojure in this case. I'm not sure if this way of language detection will ever work with PFront, as it is a mixture of many DSLs. Actually, Clojure itself must be hard to detect properly, as it is a proper meta-language.


P.S. PFront implementation is available here: https://github.com/combinatorylogic/mbase
