I'm very interested in this thread. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly which situations require prefer-method and which do not. One thing that would help me understand the issues more deeply would be if someone could post the simplest possible multimethod that requires prefer-method to disambiguate.
In Rich's list of ideals, I particularly appreciate the desire to be able impose a parent on a child without changing the child. This has come up for me, and I was grateful Clojure had this ability. I didn't see anything in the list of ideals that explains the lack of a next-method, and it's not really clear to me how to reap some of the benefits of inheritance without this. On a somewhat related note, as my code grows, and I'm using more complicated data structures, representing all of them as hash tables is starting to feel a little too, well, unstructured. Can anyone else report from the Clojure trenches on ways to manage this complexity? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
