interesting thread. are there folks coming to clojure who aren't steeped in OO? the whole dynamic dispatch thing is in some sense about avoiding if's, and is a pretty common clear rule of thumb for oo: if you have an if, you are probably doing it wrong. (whereas in functional languages, you should use pattern matching. which ends up just being sugar for if statements, probably :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
