Only about halfway; boot time issues are solved, but classpath issues are not. In addition, you bring in a whole new "dirty VM" notion that may or may not cause problems depending on how you use it. Plus you have to decide how to start your new Clojure service--will it be for the lifetime of the machine (in /etc/init.d) or just for the user's login session? (in .profile then; but how to stop it?) -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
