Coming from a polyglot-but-non- java background, I didn't have much trouble getting things running. Is the CLASSPATH really so much different to the PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH or even the plain old PATH itself? When you work with the JVM (or the CLR; for that matter) you need some knowledge about it. And then stop fighting the system but adapt to it. "Heck, why do I have to refuel my car every other week? I even have to know which type of gasoline or - *gasp* - Diesel to use." No one seriously says such things. Why do we do it with the JVM? That does not mean, that Java and/or the JVM is perfect, but neither is Clojure. Things can - and should - be improved. Disclaimer: I'm not a professional.
