Having a good Java IDE around (e.g. Eclipse or IntelliJ) certainly helps, though not so much in developing a comprehensive mental model of how everything fits together.
Some years ago, Chris Houser worked at building static visualizations of the core Clojure interfaces and abstract implementations, and how those fed into the concrete implementations of maps, seqs, etc. that we use daily: https://github.com/Chouser/clojure-classes/blob/master/graph-w-legend.png I had similar objectives, but wanted to tie implementation details (e.g. the Java interfaces that Clojure defined) together with related functions, and the higher-level concepts that further related those functions to others, etc. Add in a dynamic visualization, and you get Clojure Atlas: http://www.clojureatlas.com For example, here's the atlas focused on graph around PersistentHashMap, the concrete implementation behind e.g. `{:a 1 :b 2} `: http://www.clojureatlas.com/org.clojure:clojure:1.4.0?guest=t#clojure.lang.PersistentHashMap Cheers, - Chas On Nov 26, 5:53 pm, Dmitry Groshev <lambdadmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there any reference of standard protocols in which one can participate? > When working with Java code and building bindings to complex Java classes, > it's sometimes handy to define instances of Seq (for example) for them.
