Non-trivial I/O requires knowledge of the host. Trivial I/O is things handled by the slurp or println functions. The obvious way of doing GUIs is swing (Java), 3D means JOGL (Java), file manipulation through clojure.java.io expects a grasp of Java's Reader/Writer abstractions and associated structures. It doesn't require Java as such - I can't really program in Java and Clojure is great. A lack of Java fundamentals is still a handicap and probably around my #3 annoyance as a Clojure user. It makes dependency management (#2 annoyance) harder because the already complicated Java dependency management systems gets a thick layer of Clojure confusion ladled on top. The stacktraces obviously take the spot for #1 annoyance, which is a consequence of the Java but knowing Java won't help navigate them. Can't recommend Clojure enough though. Very fun language. |
