I'm pretty sure structs are only appropriate for when you need to eek the absolute last iota of performance out of a collection, in which case they can provide greater speed than maps. But since the list of keys is fixed, it means it's more effort to add or rename a key than it is with a map. You shouldn't trade that flexibility for speed until (0) you are pretty sure the keys are not going to change soon and (1) you know you can't get the speed you need from maps. Neither of these are true when you're just starting out on a piece of code. -Phil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
