Re: Clojure embedded in a Java Application

2011-09-19 Thread Meikel Brandmeyer (kotarak)
Hi, It was recommended in the past to go through the clojure side of things. That means for me to call hash-map rather than RT.map. By creating a small helper class one can get one's own Clj.map while still going through the official API as recommended. Hence I didn't mention RT.map.

I also think it is worth remembering the difficulty people have with getting started with Clojure (wrt to IDEs). There are *so* many third party libraries out there at the moment that a beginner could easily be overwhelmed. The more self contained and feature complete the core is the better.

Wouldn't a set of standard entries in a lein project file be sufficient for a beginner? I’m not sure that Clojure needs something as packaged as the Haskell Platform (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/), and it certainly should not be part of core. On 19/09/2011, at 4:33 PM, Stuart

You can also do it the other way around, use gen-class and write yourself a static entry point callable from Java. That's the right way to do it, IMO. Better yet, write a Java wrapper to offer Javadocs and to hide any interop code. That means extra work on both ends, but in Java shops
