> What's the plan with Tuples more broadly? Speaking as a kibitzer to the process: Suppose somebody was to carry this along, I'd like to see these points addressed: IIRC, the breaking factor to the proposal were slow-downs in real-world programs, likely due to pollution of jvm's polymorphic inline caches. It seems necessary to have a benchmark, exercising the data-structure part of clojure.core with real-world degrees of polymorphism, replicating the slow-downs, Rich saw for the proposal. When we have such a realistic basis, to which we can amend expected best- and worst-cases, it's much easier to have a conversion about expected benefits and draw-backs, performance wise. The second thing, bothering me about the proposal: To me (as a non-authority on the matter), checking in generated files is borderline unacceptable. I'd much rather see such classes generated as part of the build process, e.g. by: - using ant or maven plugins to generate java source, or, - using macros to generate byte code as part of AOT compilation ==== So, while the second point certainly would make a proposal more appealing, the first one is mandatory due diligence. I'm really glad, that cognitect acted as a gate-keeper there and saved us from microbenchmark-hell. I'd really love to write some more, about my ideas and alternatives to generating tuple arities 1-8, but I also think we ought to have that benchmark before discussing this point any further. kind regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
