The first (using atoms) is definitely more convenient and less verbose. user=> (def a (ref {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})) #'user/a user=> (def a (atom {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})) #'user/a user=> (swap! a assoc :a 5) {:c 3, :b 2, :a 5} user=> a #<AtomicReference$IRef {:c 3, :b 2, :a 5}> OR user=> (def b (ref {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})) #'user/b user=> (dosync (ref-set b (assoc @b :a 5))) {:c 3, :b 2, :a 5} user=> b #<Ref [EMAIL PROTECTED]> user=> @b {:c 3, :b 2, :a 5} user=> Parth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
