To begin with, I’m a very happy Clojurian, but not when I’m working with interops. I’m using Google apis extensively for some features in my product; and so far the experience has been quite awful. I’ve been contemplating it for a while and here are my pain points.
- It is hard to look up for what method a java object supports.
- It is hard to understand the inheritance and polymorphism designs without actually looking at the java codes.
- 1,2 are amplified all the more because I’m using calva with vscode. The IDE’s java support is not as good as that of intellij.
How do you work with interops in general? I welcome any tips/advices/know-hows.
Yeah, getting to inherited methods requires more work, more utility functions. But you can still get that information since you have the info on the bases of a class - you can reflect the whole base tree and build up the full set of supported methods.
