Yeah, gen-class is the thing. Proxy, well, proxies, but genclass produces a statically compiled ahead of time class. It's a real Java class, so yes, you can use it from Clojure like any other Java class.
Genclass is a little more painful than proxy, but probably a little less painful than having a combined Java/Clojure build. Phil Anvar Karimson <an...@karimson.com> writes: > Is that via gen-class?
