Thanks to all who replied. To summarize what I learned - Clojure has a special form (. ) to *call* java functions, but does not have concept of a *value* corresponding to a java function. This makes Java functions a second class citizen :)
In addition special forms are expanded in the first position of the list, but not on other positions, thus in (foo Math/abs) Math/abs is no longer a syntax for a static method, but a lookup of a var 'abs' in a namespace Math. Correct?
