My friend and coworker 'wglb uses it, over my weak and pitious objections, to build network protocol fuzzing code here. Don't worry, we'll beat the Clojure out of him soon enough.


Hmmm. Well, in addition, the other night, I was looking at the java vm spec and mulling over some dissatisfactions with jad. Where could that lead.

Oh, and, as I told "First Blood", quoting from Watchmen, "you think i am in here with you, but, really, you are in here with me."


Out of curiosity, what are your objections?


We do most everything in ruby. It is very cool for the kind of work we do. And being a lisper, I must say that I really do like Ruby.


It scares the crap out of clients.


(Tell them it's just another jar file deployed with the application. Unless they need to see the source code...)


Not sure how good the compiled Clojure code is. Also -- it might be too dynamic to allow any kind of obfuscation so it won't be used for stuff that's sold with licenses for example.


Bollocks. We AOT-compile and then obfuscate closed-source clojure code shipped to commercial customers.


On the flip side, don't they also think you're geniuses to be able to use it?
