Is there a language specification for clojure? Something that precisely defines the lexical syntax and grammar in EBNF or something similar?
The closest thing that I could find is the clojure website, but that doesn’t really quite meet the requirements of a language spec (despite being an absolutely wonderful resource). If there is no spec, has our BDFL made mention of any plans for one?
This is the closest thing to an official Clojure EBNF that you are likely to find.
