So I'm looking at improving the implementation of generic functions, preparatory to making the library more generally available. One thing I ought to do, I think, is make a Java class, GenericFunction, a sibling to MultFn. GenericFunction's role is basically the same as MultiFn's, it just has a different approach to dispatch.
Now, of course I could write GenericFunction in Java, just as MultiFn is written in Java, but I thought it would be nice to use Clojure's Java interop features to do it. I haven't tried using gen-class before, though, and things are going a bit haywire. Maybe someone can point out where I've gone wrong. Some code and other diagnostic info is below. Let me know what else I need to provide. (ns xg.gf) (gen-class :name xg.gf.GenericFunction :extends [clojure.lang.AFn] ) user> (compile 'xg.gf) java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [clojure/lang/AFn] (gf.clj:7) [Thrown class clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException] user> (.
