*"Recently the received wisdom has been: protocols are a low-level implementation detail. Actual APIs should be built with normal functions that call the protocol methods."*
I misspoke: This is not to say that protocols *cannot* be API functions, but that protocols are not *necessarily* APIs, as interfaces would be in Java. That said, it is often convenient to wrap protocol methods in normal functions to handle special cases, default arguments, varargs, etc. -Stuart Sierra clojure.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
