Here's another variant of the "classes are not first class objects in Java" problem:
user=> (new String) "" user=> (new (Class/forName "java.lang.String")) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to resolve classname: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I understand why this fails, and that it is consistent with Java. But Java is ugly here, and since new is a Clojure special form I think this could be made to work without negative surprises elsewhere. Rich: I will write the patch if you will apply it.
