Hi, I read that deftype is often a better replacement for gen-class and defstruct. Indeed, it would fit for my purposes very well, except the following problem: deftype does not (yet?) use all the information from type hints.
Simple example: (:gen-class :methods [[getText [] String]] ... compiles to: public java.lang.String getText(); But: (deftype ... [#^java.lang.String text]) compiles to: public final java.lang.Object text; Although the documentation states that "fields [...] can have type hints", this seems to work only for primitive types at the moment. For Java interop (using deftype-defined classes from Java code) however, it may be crucial to have the right types. Will this feature be added, and if not, what is the best alternative solution?
