I did make it absurd to show the point. This may happen in reality too. If Java says "everything should be an object so we can have more flexibility", then we will have no primitives, everything will be boxed. Fortunately that is not the case. My point is, the programmer needs to make some judgement what kind of flexibility he needs instead of simply say "it is bad, never do it, because we have something more flexible". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
