- chamomeal 2y agoThat’s a reassuring thing to hear as a new clojure learner who has little interest in java. What bits of java have you ended up needing? Like do you often use java libraries that don’t have clojure wrappers? I feel like I’m often running up against little things. I’ll google “how to do xyz in clojure” and the top SO answer is to use a java library that apparently everybody already knows about, cause so many clojurists came from java first!
- iLemming 2y ago> What bits of java have you ended up needing? The same with Clojurescript and JS (and probably with Clojure-Dart) - you have nice interop with the hosting platform. The need for learning anything about Java (while writing Clojure) basically boils down to finding API documentation for a specific class and simply using it. That's all. That's all you'd ever need.
