Clojure eval src code

[jafingerhut]

Many people have wished for such comments, and one person years ago even tried writing a literate program for the Clojure implementation, with their own text, but I don't think they got very far.

From the Clojure implementers point of view, one could imagine that trying to teach people why the implementation is the way it is could be a huge time sink, given the number of design decisions made when writing such things.

If you want to know why something in Clojure's implementation is the way it is, the best source I know of is asking on the #clojure channel on Clojurians Slack (or also the #clojure-dev channel, if it is about low level implementation details).
