This seems to be a question on whether clojure supports java auto-boxing.
What java is doing here:
if (new Boolean(false)) {
// true
}
is calling .booleanValue on the Boolean object (as mentioned above).
And here:
int x = new Integer(6) + 4;
intValue is being called on the Integer object.
Into the world of clojure, when I do:
user=> (+ (java.lang.Integer. 6) 4)
10
it looks like clojure is doing something similar to java auto-boxing.
but when I do:
(if (java.lang.Boolean. false) "t" "f")
"t"
It looks like clojure isn't doing anything like auto-boxing.
I can see how this would be a little confusing for people coming from the
Java world.
