Think I found the error. Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http is a partial class. In order to load HttpContext I need to load more dlls.

Correct, in order to load Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http HttpContext I need to: (assembly-load-file "/usr/lib/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/6.0.13/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions.dll") This is cool, now I can build a .net core app via the repl. 🙂

So I thought. I've spent many hours trying to get https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.builder.webapplication?view=aspnetcore-6.0 to load (can't find the correct assembly, loaded everything in /usr/lib/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/6.0.13)

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplicationBuilder is available though but I want the WebApplication class. 😾

very interesting, thank you for sharing! How are you going to be hooking routes? via .MapGet etc...? When I was doing this I extended the original Clojure.Main with .Web sdk, and created a wrapper around WebApplication

I’m using .MapGet and delegates. core.async can be used to interop with Tasks

Next step is to remove boilerplate with macros and add e.g. json-> edn support. .NET Core is actually very usable from Clojure, compared to e.g. the java counterpart Spring.

are you sharing this work somewhere?

Not yet, once I manage to load the WebApplication class directly from clojure-clr I’ll OSS it 🙂
