Yes ok I do get that...but wouldn't you agree that is slightly easier
for plain Java than it is for clojure? Especially for someone that has
no idea how the clojure compiler works...for example if you decompile a
clojrue ns it just seems plain wrong!!!
x = null;
y= null;
//do something with x and y
This is just plain confusing for a a java person isn't it?

If we aot compile a namespace in clojure will it be harder to

code came up where I work and was asked what Clojure does for
that...Now, from what I've noticed libraries tend to be shipped with
regular source-code rather than AOT compiled. what happens though if
one wants to protect his code? java classes are very easy to decompile
even if names have been obfuscated...Will the same thing happen in
clojure?
If you ship code to someone, they are going to be able to learn how it
works if they want.
There are things you can do to make it more difficult to varying
degrees, but nothing can make it impossible. It's basically the same
problem as making unbreakable DRM.
