Hi all. Is it not recommended to use defn within defn? Normal function is faster than the function which has inner function which actually doesn't run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (defn aaa1 [] (defn bbb [] 1) 1)
(defn aaa2 [] 1) user> (time (dotimes [_ 10000000] (aaa1))) "Elapsed time: 4083.291 msecs" nil user> (time (dotimes [_ 10000000] (aaa2))) "Elapsed time: 58.34 msecs" nil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In scheme's case both code have been excuted in the same time. None of clojure code I have seen have inner function. I like inner function because it doesn't consume a name from namespace and make it clear that inner function is only used by outer function.
