I have seen that NullPointer before, especially when you use a proxy
and don't have the import of the class defined. But on error
reporting. Clojure is the best 'new' language I have seen that has
good error reporting. It has really increased my productivity. For
example, if there is an error at a line of clojure code, I can go to
it (OK except for that particular one), that seems like a bug. But
the majority of the time when I have a code error on my end, I kind of
easily navigate to it.
Can you say that in the common lisp world? I laugh at the premise.
Good job on the error reporting in my opinion.
