I have not checked the second edition yet, but when I read JoC, my understanding was that seq is used specifically for an object that implements ISeq and is used as such (i.e. by calling first and rest on it) while sequence denotes any ordered collection.
Under this interpretation, they are not interchangeable: seqs are not collections, so they can't be sequences, and sequences are not seqs (though most of them can be turned into seqs). Some non-sequences may also be converted to seqs. Map, filter et al. were thus defined as taking seqs as arguments, although they converted if needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
