Features
Here are a few of Basilisp’s great features:
Immutable data structures, backed by Immutables and Pyrsistent
Strong emphasis on functional programming concepts
Access to the vast array of existing Python libraries
Seamless interoperability between Python code and Basilisp code
Sophisticated REPL for REPL-based development
Planned Features
Basilisp is still young and so lacks many features that more mature languages and runtimes might include. There are many such planned features that will hopefully improve the ergonomics of the project for new developers. A few of those features include:
Project management tooling to facility dependency management/locking and packaging
Compatibility with the platform-agnostic components of Clojure
