I'm somehow lost as clojure is not OO. > Protocols work well for wrapping OO code. clj-plaza is a great example. It wraps Sesame and Jena frameworks. Here are the definitions of the protocols: https://github.com/antoniogarrote/clj-plaza/blob/master/src/plaza/rdf/core.clj And an implementation: https://github.com/antoniogarrote/clj-plaza/blob/master/src/plaza/rdf/implementations/jena.clj Maybe write the wrapper in terms of Protocols and then write a thin class with genclass providing an interface from Java. Could you elaborate why you are writing this facade? Eliminating boilerplate? So it is easier to call from Clojure?
