My answer to this is: everything is an implementation at some level. So do you think we need factory functions of factory functions, and factory functions of factory functions of factory functions? I am sure that will be more flexible than just one level of factory functions. I am not against of using factory functions all together. The user/programmer obviously needs to make some judgment himself what fits his problem/aplication. And the language should be there to provide the tools that fit the job. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
