I'm not very familiar with what compiled Objective-C code looks like. But I do know of this project: https://rococoa.dev.java.net/ And it seems to be using JNA as it's backend so I guess it's possible. It's probably a matter of decoding Obj-C's name mangling scheme. It would probably be easier to just wrap rococoa though. I haven't planned on supporting more languages than C but maybe if I manage to make my code generic enough (it's currently very messy) parts of it could be used for other language wrappers via JNA. But I want to finish at least version 1.0 of clj-native before I even think of something like that ;) By the way, clj-native now has support for callbacks so that C code can call into clojure! I made a little example here: http://github.com/bagucode/clj-native/tree/master/src/examples/ I didn't upload the binary for the C lib since that's very platform specific. If you are on a mac just do something like gcc -c c_lib.c ld -dylib -o libc_lib.dylib c_lib.o and don't forget to System/setProperty java.library.path or jna.library.path to include the dir where libc_lib.dylib is. (for some reason the system properties must be set before the very first attempt to load a native lib, they will not be re-read if you change them and try again)
