> How does gen-class etc. fit into this new (ns) world? I'm not sure. I've stepped away from this thread (and the mailing list in general) for a bit to focus on the mounting amount of work I have to finish before the deadline hits, so I haven't had much more time to think about this, and I'm also not very familiar with :gen-class.
Looking at the example in The Joy of Clojure, my first impression is that
:gen-class looks like one hell of an ugly beast by itself:
(ns joy.gui.DynaFrame
(:gen-class
:name joy.gui.DynaFrame
:extends javax.swing.JFrame
:implements [clojure.lang.IMeta]
:prefix df-
:state state
:init init
:constructors {[String] [String]}
:methods [[display [java.awt.Container] void]
^{:static true} [version [] String]])
(:import ... ))
Looking at that, I think most of it can be kept as-is, except perhaps for the
sake of supporting both versions of ns it might be worth turning the outer
parenthesis into brackets. Also, what is the purpose of the :name keyword? Are
there legitimate situations where you'd want to have a name other than the
namespace that can't be called poor design? Other than that, I don't personally
have any ideas on how that could be simplified.
I hope to respond to the other emails in this thread when I get the time to,
especially Timothy's. Hopefully that'll happen once I finish one project in
about a week or so.
Cheers,
Greg
