Just that I really never spent much time as a Java programmer, so evaluating the merits/tradeoffs/gotchas of using native (and 3rd party) Java libs from clojure is another level of complexity that I've been avoiding unless a clojure-only approach/library is deficient in some way. IOW - my heuristic has been to try for a clojure-only solution before looking at Java because that's a pretty big ocean of stuff to comb through... That said, I'm not *opposed* to using Java directly either - and it sounds like using an Executor might be an example of the "if Java ain't broke, don't fix it" approach that clojure takes and thus more or less idiomatic, so I'm fine with going that route if that's the case.
