Hi, Phil: Thanks for your detailed analysis.
My use-case is I have a tree and want to walk over the tree and apply a function on the nodes. The operation of the function also depends on the parent and children of the node, so it will be nice if each node already contains the references to its parent and children. Something like that. I guess I will just use atoms to hold the reference. I am not in pursuit of pure functional programming, so if it is too much trouble to do it with FP, I will take whatever works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
