True, but have you ever tried to use any of it? I did and I have to say that 99% of them are half baked solutions just to satisfy examples. Even for more popular languages, situation is not better much; the only solid implementations (which could handle even dark corners) I found are ctypes for python and cffi for CL. > about Java library stack because I haven't used it, bu I doubt its > usage is seamless. Correct me if I'm wrong. Really? These days I'm using Selenium for some u.tests; google Selenium examples in java (or ruby/python) and see how much of it you can express with clj-webdriver (Clojure wrapper). Or if I we move to Swing-land, I can talk about it all day long ;) Best.
