Ask HN: How can I access Java from Lisp?
I'm working on a simple little utility that I want to write as a personal project. I want to use Lisp so that I can learn more about it, but I really need to access some Java code.
Obviously clojure is a choice, but I've already used that for a project and I'd like to try something new. I've looked at Armed Bear Common Lisp, but its java integration seems somewhat... verbose. Are there any other options here?

- omouse 17y agoDon't worry about verbosity, Armed Bear Common Lisp is the way to go. However, I think you'll have to alter some of the code in it because when it loads up scripts, it places them in the armed-bear or script package (I can't remember which).
- Shooter 17y agoRich Hickey released a few things for Java-Lisp interop before he decided to start over completely with Clojure. See http://jfli.sourceforge.net/ http://jfli.sourceforge.net/, for example. There are other approaches (JLinker, etc.)
