I'm not just talking about class hierarchy dependencies, but also
reference dependencies.
For example:
Foo.java
class Foo {
public Bar getBar() {...}
}
Bar.java
class Bar{
public Foo getFoo() {...}
}
This is pretty common in the Java world.
What I'd like to do is have Foo be written in Java, and Bar in Clojure
(for example). Right now, I'm not aware of any way to make this work.
The two-pass compilation does sound like the right track...
interesting idea.
