see the section titled "deftype and defrecord?" at https://clojure.org/ reference/datatypes Specter traffics in abstractions, afaik, just like clojure. it does not depend in any way on application concepts like "bank account", so i think it's a little unfair to call it x-specific for any x; that makes it sound less general than clojure itself, which i do not believe is the case. so it is indeed a good _candidate_ for core. but since i think there are many unexplored ways to do the same thing, its too soon. Not to mention the aesthetic question of whether all the UPPER CASE stuff is a good idea. Personally i find it a little too magical and opaque. gregg ps. just as food for thought, what xslt does for xml trees is very similar to what specter does for clojure structures. if you're familiar with xslt it's not that hard to imagine sth similar in idiomatic clojure that would solve the same problems with a very different vocab. g -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
