As nobody else has said this, it bears making explicit that: * swap! is for when the new value depends, in some way, on the previous value.
* reset! is for when the new value is independent of the previous value. If you're simply setting a flag, for example, (reset! foo true) works. If you're incrementing a counter, though, you want (swap! foo inc), etc. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
