CLASSY

More -terrible- Java inheritance support.

Rationale

Clojure support for inheritance is... there.

I understand that the idea is that for all but the simplest cases you're better served with dropping to Java, but I consider proxy not to be an adequate tool for a lot of these cases, not only due to its quite unoptimized implementation but also due to how clunky calling super methods and interface methods is.

Features

The library exposes two macros: instance and defsubclass. Just read the docs for these; super-call is used in order to access super methods inside their bodies.

The macros lean heavily on reify and deftype, and indeed share most of their behavior; all classes emitted by these macros have stable names, so there should be no caveats in terms of AOT compilation.
