Source for Cons: https://github.com/hiredman/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Cons.java Source for PersistentList: https://github.com/hiredman/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/PersistentList.java >From looking at the source it looks like one major difference between Cons and PersistentList is that Cons can have anything that implements ISeq for _rest while PersistentList must have another PersistentList.
