Hey everyone, I was working with an object that implements java.util.Map today, and I had to turn it into a Clojure map.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html I cam up with this utility fn (defn read-map "Designed to turn a java.util.Map into a Clojure map." [a-map] (into {} (map #(hash-map (.getKey %) (.getValue %)) (seq a-map)))) What if hash-map automatically cast a java.util.Map to a Clojure map? Here's a proposed hash-map* (defn hash-map* ([] (hash-map)) ([& keyvals] (if (= (count keyvals) 1) (if (instance? java.util.Map (first keyvals)) (read-map (first keyvals)) (apply hash-map keyvals)) ;throws proper exception (apply hash-map keyvals)))) Is this auto-casting a desired behavior? If not, does anyone want read-map in contrib (c.c.map-utils)? Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
