Excuse me if I'm totally off (I haven't actually used clojure, just evaluating it), but regarding the lacking libraries: isn't the fact that it runs in the JVM nullify this by having access to the rich java libraries?
- bengl3rt 15y agoThe java interop is very verbose and kind of ugly (next to "pure" clojure code anyway) so many clojure wrappers or reimplmentations for existing Java libraries exist. So yes, sometimes it's as simple as extending the wrapper to expose the part of the underlying Java library you need, but other times there are fundamental issues with the design of the library that prevent it from being useful in a multi-threaded multi-user server environment (instancing etc).
