rest is giving you a seq. conj is thus producing a cons where the first is 0 and the rest is that seq. (Essentially, seqs are treated as lists, and thus print with parens.) user=> (rest [1 2 3 4 5]) (2 3 4 5) user=> (type (rest [1 2 3 4 5])) clojure.lang.PersistentVector$ChunkedSeq user=> (conj (rest [1 2 3 4 5]) 1) (1 2 3 4 5) user=> (type *1) clojure.lang.Cons user=> (rest *2) (2 3 4 5) user=> (type *1) clojure.lang.PersistentVector$ChunkedSeq If you want conj to act as if it's working on a vector, you need to give it a vector: user=> (conj (vec (rest [1 2 3 4])) :a) [2 3 4 :a] user=> (conj (rest [1 2 3 4]) :a) (:a 2 3 4) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
