Hi, even though I've using byte arrays many times, I'm still massively confused each time I use them...
For example, why does this fail? (byte-array [1 2 3 4]) ClassCastException java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.Byte clojure.lang.Numbers.byte_array (Numbers.java:1223) I understand ints are longs by default, but all of the values are in byte-range and should not cause a casting error. Also creating an int-array with the same values works just fine (and casts values correctly): (int-array [1 2 3 4]) Casting each value specifically to byte first works on the other hand: (byte-array (map byte [1 2 3])) Is that a bug or can someone please explain why bytes seem to require special treatment in Clojure?
