Adding to that... have a look at the implemented methods in core_print.clj. The print-method will get called on print and println with your instance as the first argument. In this example prints a pair type; since elements can be anything it just calls print on each.
(deftype Pair [fst snd]) (defmethod print-method Pair [r, ^java.io.Writer w] (.write w "Pair(") (print (.fst r)) (.write w ",") (print (.snd r)) (.write w ")")) On Thursday, August 1, 2013 3:04:47 PM UTC-7, Laurent PETIT wrote: > > I think you have to provide methods for multimethods print-dup and > print-method: > > > https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/c6756a8bab137128c8119add29a25b0a88509900/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L3311 > > > 2013/8/1 Dragan Djuric <drag...@gmail.com <javascript:>>: > > I have some custom types defined using deftype and I am trying to enable > a > > human-friendly string representation of these types in repl.
