Actually since you are using def, I believe your method registrations are global. You should be using binding with dynamic vars to get thread locals. Also with mine, since I have the user specify the pluralfn symbol and since it can be called in another namespace, the namespace of the pluralfn is preserved. You can define multiple pluralfn's with the same name but in different namespaces. I don't think you can do that with your implementation. All this harping from me is really nothing though. Just details. Your approach well describes the point you are trying to make with little code. (Although you can remove the anonymous fn call in the update-in line, update-in accepts fns and the args it will pass to it :-P ).
Back to details though, I think that we still specify too much. For example, I think to make this more flexible and performant, we must not specify the data structure we choose to use. A vector may not provide the best data structure for fast lookup as we would like in a multimethod imitator. Also, when we reload a namespace, do we clobber all implementations? or save them? Probably some sort of protocol would be best, but I don't know what that approach should look like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
