ClojureCPP is a Clojure library for integrating C/C++ based libraries available through JavaCPP. It is much more than a wrapper around JavaCPP that hides Java interop. It enables you to use JavaCPP’s Pointer-based infrastucture the Clojure way; exposing what is absolutely necessary, automating whatever boilerplate that can be automated under the hood, and protecting yourself from shooting yourself in the foot with memory leaks and segmentation faults as much as possible (95%? 89%? who knows, but not 100%). You still have to be careful, because you’re stepping outside the JVM, but you’ll write a lot less code, your code will fit nicely with the rest of Clojure code in your program, and you will do the wrong thing less often.
