I expected a delay only to be forced by an explicit call to force. instead it looks like, being a kind of IDeref, a delay will be forced by the REPL.
e.g. user=> (def del (delay (println "printed") (+ 2 3))) #'user/del user=> del printed #<de...@8691dee: 5> user=> (force del) 5 The documentation seems to imply the only way to force a delay is through the force procedure... " Takes a body of expressions and yields a Delay object that will invoke the body only the first time it is forced (with force), and will cache the result and return it on all subsequent force calls." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
