Hello, Christian Could you explain the reasoning behind compiling the Clojure code > before the Java code?
It's very good question, and to be honest I don't know exact question for it. I may imagine both cases from Clojure to Java and vise versa. Making first variant default I was followed by one letter I had received. It was about some project written in IDEA, where Clojure is used for core funcationality whereas al UI is written in Java via UI designer. Untill we have no stub-generation (as it was done in Groovy) or Java code analysis like in Scala only one consistent solution will be to define compilation order explicitly. Tricky project decomposion into modules may help to resolve cross-languge dependencies.
