Hi Steven,

Skip interfaces and gen-class, and look instead at protocols and types. There is a simple example [1] in the labrepl [2]. (You will need to be on Clojure 1.2 bits, which labrepl does for you, and you should do in any case.)

I think people will use protocols less frequently than interfaces, but with greater leverage.

Hi,

I'm thinking about writing some piece of software completely in
clojure (yeah!) However, it is my first time so I want to make sure I
know what I'm doing.

Specifically, I prefer to define the important components of my
software as Java interfaces. Partly to see myself think, partly
because it just makes more sense to me. I then want to implement these
interfaces using gen-class and clojure functions and pass resulting
objects as function arguments.

My question is: does this combination of Java interfaces and gen-class
impact clojure-ness in any way? In other words, would I be living in a
different world if I would just implement my functions and pass those
functions around as function arguments without using Java interfaces
and gen-class?

Thanks

Steven Devijver
