Thanks Andy, ya I actually realized this, I'm using a custom reader literal now instead.

What does a space add that somehow negates the premise of keywords? I see keywords over strings give you interning, namespaces, and the semantic that this value serves as an identifier. What's wrong with having that and a space as well? Also, to be more specific to my use case. If I convert ION symbols to Clojure strings, I've lost information, and can no longer convert back to the same ION. I need to do ION -> EDN -> ION in a lossless way. Piggybacking on keywords seemed easiest. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
