My 2c. In any clojure.io library, make sure none of the warts that are planned to be fixed in NIO2 are codified.
JDK7 includes work on Path, large directory traversal, event notifications etc. See http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javase/nio/ Alexander 2010/1/1 Phil Hagelberg <p...@hagelb.org> > > I've been looking over our use of contrib in our large-ish project > at work.
