I didn't mean to offend you. I don't know Clojure or Java, and was just wondering why you need to look into the internals of Clojure for something as basic as parseInt.

Clojure.core doesn't have a parse integer function. You use Java interop to get one. It's as simple as '(Integer/parseInt "42")'

You can use the built-in read-string too to generically read a string as Clojure data: `(read-string "42")`
