Yes, the default namespace for keywords is different than for symbols, which is why the ::keyword form exists. > I will definitely consider using the clojure printer/reader; that is > a really really good idea, thanks! > > I am doing graphics work, so I may have to externalize certain data > (like images and data buffers), but as long as the clojure printer > prints text you have hit upon a really great solution! It's not a universal replacement for persistent data storage along the lines of a Hibernate-style) object-relational system, an O-O database or even an eXist-style XML database. But it's a handy option for data that is essential symbolic, not tremendously voluminous and for which and all-or-none externalization / internalization model that doesn't require selective query / retrieval and update is adequate. > Chris Randall Schulz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
