(Although I would expect it to produce "()", not "" as you expected). Similarly, I've had times where I called (str s) on a list, expecting it to print like a list, but it turned out that s wasn't truly a list, it was actually a lazy seq, which just prints the type, much like your empty list example. I know there have been some recent improvements surrounding reading and writing data structures. Is there a way to just say, "Convert this to a string that corresponds to the way it prints at the REPL"? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
