The fact that IPersistentVector is a Java interface is rather incidental. To me, dealing with the core abstractions provided by clojure (which are sometimes codified as Java interfaces), and learning how to extend them in certain circumstances, is not only germane, but it's actually vital to using the language effectively. With regard to writing Euler solutions in a non-Java way, I'm just trying to write them in "my" clojure way. :) In any case, I appreciate the help and insights. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
