Currently, Clojure uses a mixture of interfaces and abstract base classes, and some things are very hard to derive and adapt. For example, I've been waiting on changes for a couple of years that would allow me to hook priority maps into subseq. Currently, subseq is implemented in terms of an interface that makes too many assumptions about how the data structure works. I just don't think you can judge the success of inheritance-less records and protocols until that sort of work is done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
