JEP Draft: Prepare to Restrict the Use of JNI

• coffi

  6 250 3.7 Clojure

  A Foreign Function Interface in Clojure for JDK 19.

Honestly, Project Panama seems much more promising for interop with the C ABI from the Java platform. This is anecdotal, but a lot of commercial Clojure projects seem to have a small JNI-using library that nobody dares to touch with a 10 ft. pole lest something in it breaks and debugging is tedious, if possible at all. I've been eagerly waiting for the release of Java 21 since it means projects like coffi[1] can be used in a stable release of Java, and the API is honestly much more ergonomic than dealing with SWIG and using JNI directly.

• clong

  1 64 6.7 Clojure

  A wrapper for libclang and a generator that can turn c header files into clojure apis.

Wow coffi was just the thing I was looking for. I've been struggling with Clojure native interop for a while. Right now I am using https://github.com/phronmophobic/clong which comes with its own set of challenges
