I just ran into that issue while I was constructing byte-arrays for secure-hash
test cases.
Ended-up using (byte-array (vector-of :byte 1 2 3 4)) to avoid writing the
(byte-array [(byte 1)(byte 2)(byte 3)(byte 4)]).
Transparently adding valid byte-number values to a byte-array makes sense and
Thanks, Marko! I'd count this as a sort of bug though... at least in
terms of consistency, since it breaks expected behaviour as
established by other common array c'tor functions:
(int-array [1 2 3]) => ok
(long-array [1 2 3]) => ok
(float-array [1 2 3]) => ok
(double-array [1 2 3]) => ok

I'd say this is filable as an enhancement req
Hi,
even though I've using byte arrays many times, I'm still massively
confused each time I use them...
For example, why does this fail?
(byte-array [1 2 3 4])
ClassCastException java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.Byte
clojure.lang.Numbers.byte_array (Numbers.java:1223)
I understand int
