Hi, I am an OSGi enthusiast. Lately I have been looking at scheme and clojure. I can't help but wonder if there are any genuine benefits clojure can get from being a full OSGi citizen. It seems to me that OSGi is to statically compiled Java what the REPL is for Clojure. Except the REPL is more powerful. Currently OSGi seems like a nice interoperation environment for clojure and the other JVM based languages. This alone is a sufficient motivation to make clojure OSGi compatible, which it currently is not because it's internal class loading does not play nice with OSGi's own dynamic class loading.
The devilish question however is: if all our code was in clojure would running withing OSGi bring any genuine benefits? Does OSGi as a dynamic runtime for the JVM provide anything that the REPL does not already have?
