How can I use .net functions/classes to/from clojure-clr?

Question

For example, how can I use System.Console.WriteLine from clojure-clr? In general, what's the rule for exporting/importing functions/classes from other languages such as C#/F# from/to Clojure-clr?

System.Console is loaded by default. You can simply use:

(System.Console/WriteLine "Hello World!")

Another example, using a static class:

(import (System.IO Path))
(println (Path/GetFullPath "."))

is it different from the Java type? or am I missing something?

I don't think there is a difference, although I haven't looked into detail.

in Java, instantiating the Date object, then calls its toString() method, you have to write like the following,

user=> (. (new java.util.Date) (toString))

While this example works, note that it can also be written as (. (new java.util.Date) toString) or (.toString (new java.util.Date)).
