Fair enough - though my problem couldn't be fixed by caching, it could be inlined without too much pain. I just wanted to check I hadn't missed something - I'm still learning clojure bit by bit, and while it's fabulously well documented for such a new language, it's still easy to miss this sort of detail.
Really, if I wanted to micro-optimise something like this, I could write just these functions in Java, or in java assembler if I was really keen. ... which has a certain symmetry - my first ever mandelbrot set generator was written in C, with in-line assembler to optimise the core algorithms for the shiny new 80386 CPU! - Korny On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Albert Cardona <sapri...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> >> Currently, there is no way to write a function that takes/returns >> primitives, all of the signatures are Object based. >> > > > And please keep them so!
