icey mostly answered your point, however the trick here is that without wrapping in libraries like this, you're simply getting the same experience as java to access the particular libs, which is still easier than accessing them from another lisp such as sbcl.
Easier than everyone else does not default to "stupid easy" all the time, at least not without work from people making wrapper libs like this.
- revorad 17y agoOK, thanks for the explanation. I still wonder how good an idea it is to make such wrapper libraries instead of writing pure Lisp libraries in the first place, not in this particular case but as a general idea.
- runevault 17y agoCertainly where it makes sense to invest the time writing pure clojure libraries (or mostly clojure with optimized java in a few key areas if you're running into spots you can't get as good a performance in pure clojure but java will) is preferred, but at least this gives you the option of using the non-fp styled libraries until such a time as someone writes them. Improved bootstrapping at it's finest.
