The new operation intentionally demands a statically knowable type to
construct. While this is true of Java as well, it's not true of JavaScript.
However, it is true of the Google Closure compiler's "type system" for
advanced compilation. That said, if the library you're using isn't going to
be optimized with advanced, you can do any typical dynamic metaprogramming
you'd want to do in JavaScript and call in to that.
mynamespace.make = function(cls) {
return new (Function.prototype.bind.apply(cls, arguments));
};
Then from ClojureScript:
(apply mynamespace/make qx.ui.mobile.form.Button ["Go!"])
