this probably isn't the right list to get into such things, but... :-) i think that polymorphism here would need to be better defined since there are many kinds of it, and that a lot of polymorphism doesn't in any way have to be anything about OO at all. i'm just trying to warn against believing 'OO bijection Polymorphism' or some such. sincerely. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
