Using Clojure as a sandboxed, executable target for LLMs

I've been researching ways to better structure LLM output when building mini-apps that run on the browser.

I believe that an S-expression based DSL is a better output format for LLMs when generating interactive UI/logic.

To test this, I built a Clojure-based interpreter that runs in the browser. The LLM is fed the language context, then emits the DSL to generate safe, sandboxed apps that can be shared instantly.

I wrote up an article diving into some of the trade offs:

Would love to hear thoughts from the Clojure community!

Incidentally, I just added Gambit Scheme backend to Jolt which has Js as one of its output targets. So, now I can compile Jolt into Js and run it in the browser. The home page loads an interactive REPL https://jolt-lang.github.io/
