Hi, They say that a part of a learning is to ask questions. Lots of questions. That's why I'm here. I need your advice.
There's a team I'm a part of where people used to write Java apps. They're fine with the job, but they do everything in Java. I thought I'd introduce Clojure as a functional language to solve some problems that are functional in nature, like processing XML files. I said I'd show you how to do it different (well, I used the word "better"). The job of the XML parser module is to expose attributes with getX() method-like style to other Java modules. There's a XML file of which attributes should be available with getAnAttribute() methods. I can read a XML file and process its elements, but don't know how to expose them with getters. Should I create a Java class with necessary getters and execute Clojure functions so to make the Java class a wrapper or use AOT to generate getters off a Clojure namespace, possibly a Clojure record? How would you approach the task? It's my chance to introduce Clojure and if it works fine there'll be more. I need to do it properly so they can't see Clojure when they call the getters. They should just call the getters from a class that belongs to a package that in turn is a part of a project dependency. Any help greatly appreciated. Please speak up with your ideas!
