The repl uses the `print-method` generic function that dispatches on the class. To override the behaviour you need to provide a custom implementation of that fn like this - (defmethod clojure.core/print-method user.MyRecord [x writer] (.write writer (:name x))) The caveat here is that this will also break the `readability` of the record. Also take a look at the `print-dup` multimethod. Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
