I have just about zero expertise in concurrency technology or language design, but even for someone as naive as I am, it seems "obvious" that many of the headaches and problems discussed above would be at least grossly simplified by having immutable persistent data. Given that feature of clojure's design, it seems that concurrency issues exist in an entirely different (and more tractable) environment. ~jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
