To be clear: In the example, p1 is not an instance of Person. p1 is just a map. An actual record has (at least) all of the basis fields.
user> (map->Person {:name "foo"}) #user.Person{:name "foo", :age nil, :company nil} user> (dissoc *1 :age) {:name "foo", :company nil} ;; not a record anymore! user> (assoc *2 :igloo 42) #user.Person{:name "foo", :age nil, :company nil, :igloo 42} As a rule of thumb, in Clojure one does not rush to records. If maps are good enough, one uses maps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
