I agree multimethods are great. But when in a tight loop, you don't like them so much. The point is not whether deftype is useful or not. It is in the language so it must be useful, even it it is rarely. The point is whether it is an expressive construct or not. And it is not expressive enough to my taste. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
