Yes, yes, yes! Seriously, Java's not that hard. Anyone with a programming background can learn enough about the language to get started using libraries in a few hours. Yes, Java APIs are dense, and there are a lot of them, but the documentation for the JDK is first-rate, and there are scores of books and blog posts to help you out. -Stuart Sierra clojure.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
