Disclaimer: I'm new to Clojure programming. I work on some Clojure wrapper functions for a Java API that mainly consists of interfaces.
I wonder what the 'usual way of doing things' is regarding inheritance chains. Let's say there's an interface called *Element* that has a *getId()*function. A second interface, called *SubElement,* extends *Element*. I have two clojure namespaces for these two interfaces: *foo.element* and *foo.sub-element*. In foo.element there is a wrapper for the getId() function: (defn get-id [^Element element] (.getId element)) Now my question is regarding foo.sub-element. Should I just redefine get-id in there? (defn get-id [^SubElement element] (.getId element)) Or should I do: (defn get-id [^Element element] (element/get-id element)) Or should I use potemkin in there? (potemkin/import-fn element/get-id) Or should I not re-wrap this function call and work with both namespaces when dealing with SubElements? What are the pros and cons to these different approaches?
