My experience as a newcomer to Clojure is that one of the most surprising things is the dichotomy between the Clojure and JVM world.
I was reading one of Lau's blog posts on converting images to ASCII art: http://www.bestinclass.dk/index.php/2010/02/my-tribute-to-steve-ballmer His get-properties macro is only really needed because of this issue with methods. If .methods were wrapped up as clojures, you could write it directly like this: ;; General purpose function. Useful whenever you want to reverse the sense of function and arguments. (defn with-args [& args] #(apply % args)) (map (with-args (.getRGB image 10 10)) [.getRed .getGreen .getBlue]) -Per On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 4:30 AM, Michael Gardner <gardne...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mar 18, 2010, at 10:55 AM, Per Vognsen wrote: > >> Is there any reason why a .method occurrence in non-operator position >> doesn't just do the closure wrapping automagically? > > I'd like to know this as well.
