I don't know about that. I've been teaching a young'un Clojure without ever mentioning anything about Java. Knowing a bit about the JVM and .jar files and such might be helpful in setting things up initially, and certainly Java libraries (both standard and third-party) can come in handy to solve certain kinds of problems; but even for that you don't really need to know Java the language. Then again, maybe I'm underestimating how hard it would be to read Java API docs without knowing the language... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
