JRuby can access classes implemented in pure Java code. Clojure can generate a class file. Therefore it's straightforward for JRuby to access classes implemented in Clojure.
First I define a class with a method in plain Java.
MrJava.java:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| class MrJava { | |
| public MrJava() { | |
| } | |
| void hi(String name) { | |
| System.out.println("Good afternoon " + name + ", how are you?"); | |
| } | |
| } |
It gets better; you can use Clojure's persistent data structures from JRuby as well: http://github.com/technomancy/clojure-gem
ReplyDeleteUsing the STM is still not seamless since JRuby's Exception proxies get in the way of transaction retries, but with a little more work it could be done.
Thanks Phil for letting me know it!
