Was unsure whether to post to clojure or clojure-dev, but here goes. I was surprised to learn today that count silently overflows to negative numbers:
jenome.core> (time (count (range (*' 1000 1000 1000 3)))) "Elapsed time: 375225.663 msecs" -1294967296 jenome.core> I can easily get around this with my own (non-overflowing) count function, but would it make sense for count throw an ArithmeticException on overflow, with *unchecked-math* set to false (as it is in my case)?
