hmm...unless I've understood wrongly, that would be 'once per type, arity and potentially argument-types'...so yes, for all your Doubles you would pay it once, for all your Longs once more etc etc...if you start doing it with objects with more than one ctor arity and possibly same arities but with different arg-types then I don't see how the instantiator would know about all potential possibilities. I mean it's not generic anymore...

have I completely misunderstood you? can you show a sample/overview of the 'instantiator' fn you're referring to?

thanks,

Jim

Both are somewhat problematic from a performance perspective.

I'd actually be tempted to do this in a "higher order function" style that returns a compiled construction function for the correct argument types, e.g. something like

(def double-builder (instantiator Double Long))
(double-builder 2)
=> 2.0

This allows you to take the pay the cost of compilation / reflection only once.
