That would be nice to have! Generating type-hinted clojure code from the reflection result and emitting that with macros would be an option. I think the dynamic use of reflection would be enough to put me off > using this in something like pallet, for example. > I agree with Michael on this: Any reflection overhead should pale next to the context switch and network communication, that AWS commands do. OTOH, I also agree that driving a generated java api via reflection, to generate xml seems a bit heavy handed. Still, first priority should be to get the interface right. Regarding that: I think the first context argument should be mandatory. We are just saw clojure.java.jdbc painstakenly deprecate a lot of API, to get rid of the dynamic *db* var. The reasons against passing context in a dynamic var go double against a global atom: A function parameter can be set at from any data model in every callsite. Everything that's less flexible constrains your users for little gain (in the case of passing context). Also, my experience with ClojureQL showed me, that with multiple sources of a context arg, it's hard to get the ordering right. E.g. the new implementation seems to prefer dynamically bound credentials over credentials passed as argument. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
