But there are just some algorithms that you need to write in a low-level way. (Implementing the data-structures built-in in Clojure would be such an example.) And for this, it you are on the JVM, you want a way to build objects. And then comes deftype. And after 2 hours, you realise that you would like to have traits. (It is quite rare to need them, but very useful when it is the case). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
