From JVM to JS: Implementing Math Functions in ClojureScript - Paula Gearon

This talk explores the implementation of Java's math functions in ClojureScript, aiming for functional parity with Clojure's math operations. We'll examine the intricacies of IEEE 754 floating-point operations, the challenges of bitwise operations in JavaScript, and approaches for thorough cross-environment testing. The presentation will cover how low-level mathematical operations can be implemented in ClojureScript, and the insights gained about the compiler and ecosystem. The talk will also highlight the collaborative process with ClojureScript maintainers, providing a look at contributing to a core language project. This presentation offers perspectives on language internals, precise numerical computations, testing techniques, and the community-driven nature of open-source development.
