The problem is the evaluation. PersistentTreeMap evaluates to the PersistentArrayMap (or PersistentHashMap).
user=> (class (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4))) clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap user=> (class #sorted-map (1 2 3 4)) clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap user=> (class #sorted-map (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20)) clojure.lang.PersistentHashMap user=> (read-string "#sorted-map (1 2 3 4)") #sorted-map (1 2 3 4) user=> #sorted-map (1 2 3 4) {1 2, 3 4} user=> (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4)) #sorted-map (1 2 3 4) user=> (eval (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4))) {1 2, 3 4} JW On Thursday, August 8, 2013 7:29:16 PM UTC+2, David James wrote: > > I am having trouble with an implementation of a custom reader literal > called #sorted-set. > > Please see my short code first: > https://github.com/xpe/sorted-map-literal > > Why does this work correctly: > (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4)) > #sorted-map (1 2 3 4) ; correct > > While this does not? > #sorted-map (1 2 3 4) > {1 2, 3 4} ; incorrect > > Thanks, > David > > P.S.
