Of course, since a pairwise sequential comparison (what I assume is going on under the hood) will never find a non-matching pair. > It appears that the = operator wants to fully evaluate the second argument > before comparing to the first. Since (range) is infinite, it hangs. Yes, that is what appears to be happening. The question is: why? Why does it only do this to the second argument? Why does (= v s) for any vector `v' and any infinite lazy sequence `s' not terminate, while (= s v) does? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
