Hi,
I am using Clojure for a month now. I like it a lot so far, but there
are a couple of little details that make me very afraid. Foremost:
(if (Boolean. false) "jesus" "christ")
will return "jesus", not "christ". Googling this on the net, I found
that this is a known phenomenon, and some rationalizations of why this
is the correct thing to do (it is not, sorry Rich).
I could live with this, but I have code that is written completely in
clojure, and does not create Boolean objects in any explicit way, or
uses third-party libraries except for the stuff in clojure.core and
slingshot. Nevertheless, somehow Boolean objects seem to creep into
live, and I have code like that:
(if (:leaf m-node)
....
...
)
that breaks because of it. I am using from the github repository
( 14428c296de483ea666bd874701046e7088e545c).
This means that I cannot trust my code on the most basic level, and
this is unacceptable.
