The discussion/post-linked-to in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/eoAp6QVimYI/iipmEJNKdrIJ have got me thinking about protocols & multimethods, which I admittedly have possibly never actually used, now that I think about it. I'm wondering how they differ from core.match[1]. I realize protocols, specifically, have a niche for when you have concrete type information about your data and want better performance. I'm a little less clear about multimethods--in particular, I just considered using multimethods for something, and then ended up reaching for core.match because it seemed more closure-friendly.
What, if any, are the benefits of using protocols/multimethods over core.match, or vice versa? When would you reach for one and definitely not the other(s)?
