Not an answer to your question, but: depending on what you mean by "much faster", there is a good chance that you measured the clojure for expression doing nothing. You should wrap it in a doall or dorun to get a proper timing (like a generator in Python). Eg: for me, the following are almost exactly the same speed (~45ms): user=> (time (dorun (for [i (range 100000)] [i (* i i)]))) "Elapsed time: 45.965679 msecs" C:\Users\chris>python -m timeit "[(i,i*i) for i in range(100000)]" 10 loops, best of 3: 45.5 msec per loop - Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
