If you're implementing an interface, you can use deftype to create objects with multiple mutable and immutable fields and with methods corresponding to that interface. And you can use definterface to make an interface. You don't even have to call the objects via the interface. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
