Has anybody had any experience accessing the Autocad or Inventor API with Clojure?
If you can access autocad through Java, then you can get to it from Clojure. I found this SO question on that matter. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/856973/interfacing-autocad-with-java) Basically they’ve built a JNI bridge to the autocad API. Once you do that then you can access that through Clojure. It sounds like a non-trivial undertaking though to say the least.
I’m pretty old, and the last time I checked (cough 20+ years ago cough), Autocad was extensible via Autolisp. If that’s still true, then would you really want to bolt on Clojure? Just curious.
