Sounds like you really just want (defn atom? [x] (not (or (instance? java.util.Collection x) (instance? java.util.Map x)))) which returns true for integers, strings, and pretty much any other objects except lists, seqs, vectors, maps, sets, and the like (and their mutable java.util counterparts). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
