Your implementation of cons in your deftype is probably being associated to the ISeq type, not IPersistentCollection.
user=> (deftype Foo [a b] #_=> clojure.lang.IPersistentCollection #_=> (cons [_ c] [a b c])) user.Foo user=> (conj (Foo. 1 2) 3) [1 2 3] I think Vector supports ISeq through the Seqable interface but not directly. So your type Foo may not need it: user=> (.cons [] 1) ; ok [1] user=> (.first [] 1) ; ??
