It is realy intresting, thanks!

Could you point to a similar code (easy to understand) written using the expressivity of Clojure?

I want to learn better Clojure

Oh, yes, well this is a code hack to make it as small as possible, but still having the same issue, without thinking much, thanks anyway!

Another question, I’m experimenting a bit, and if I use ^long further up (for example in the let declaration[sleep-time (* ^long (handle2 max-time) 1000)]) it also seems to work.

Does it matter where it goes?

Ok, so reflection is something that is to be avoided in graalVM ? Or in general with clojure?
Reading [this](https://clojure.org/reference/java\_interop#typehints) I get the impression that it should be used for performance, why would it affect the compiled object, if I don’t care about performance?

(Sorry if it seems that I’m obtuse.)

Ok, this worked, but why? Somewhere to read about this?
