Contributions summary:Raphaël primarily focused on enhancing the ClojureScript compiler's internal workings. Their contributions involved refactoring and improving code related to namespace handling, environment management, and macro loading. They also updated the compiler to use the `empty-env` function consistently across various modules and incorporated the use of `alength` to replace `.-length` for array manipulation, improving the performance of the clojurescript compiler. These changes suggest a focus on improving the internal structure, efficiency, and maintainability of the compiler.
