Erlang interop?

[oubiwann]

Maybe I missed it, but is there a section of the web site that discusses Erlang interop the way that the Clojure site discusses Java interop? I did see this:

• https://clojerl.github.io/differences-with-clojure/#host-interop

but that's nothing like what Clojure has, with actual examples for all the permutations of usage:

• https://clojure.org/reference/java_interop

Maybe it's somewhere else that I missed?

If not, this would be a docs feature request ;-)

Admittedly, it would be much shorter a page than the Java interop one ;-) Trying to think of all the useful bits to call out explicitly and show usage for (or note as prohibited, unsupported, or a future feature):

• Calling Erlang functions: (M/F A)syntax with examples
• When referring to functions, whether to use a symbol or a keyword (there's a bit of ambiguity there with clj <-> erl)
• Project structure, including use of namespaces in separate files, nested directories
• How Clojure namespaces are used in creating .beam files
• Using native data structures: #erl ... syntax with examples and maybe even a couple of practical use cases (no-brainers, but still reassuring to see when you're a newcomer)
• How to include .erl code in Clojerl projects
• I can't remember if Erlang's spec is supported in Clojerl? If so, that'd be good to cover here, too
• (Re)stating how the types of Clojerl and Erlang map between each other (or providing a link to the definitive spot that is done)
• Calling Clojerl namespaces/functions from Erlang
• Calling Clojerl protocol implementations from Erlang

Can't think of anything else right now ...

Okay, I've created a branch here:

• https://github.com/oubiwann/clojerl.github.io/tree/add-erlang-interop

It's just got stubbed markdown right now; if you're interested in filling any of it in, lemme know and I'll add you as a collaborator on the branch (or, if you want to submit a PR against this particular branch, that's cool too).
