I see that Lists and Vectors are similar, but have different uses and for logical reasons. My question may be more about language of datatypes in Clojure than usage.
Is it appropriate to use the term Array and Vector interchangeably when writing documentation about Clojure/EDN for non-Clojure programmers? (1-- "Vector" can be a difficult concept to "map" in English without context, for instance: "so it's a direction as well as a value?") (2-- Map (Clojure) / Dict (Python) / Tuple (Python) / Object (JavaScript) / Hash (Ruby), there's probably no resolution there.) I'm hesitant to use the word Array interchangeably with Vector in technical specs since Array occurs in Clojure at least as array-map and to-array, which aren't the same as a Vector. On the other hand, "Array" would seem especially interchangeable in documentation when talking about Clojure in context of ClojureScript, but descriptive language about Clojure should probably stay consistent regardless of the hosting programming language. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
