The only reason I can give you is that Java methods aren't first-class objects, like Clojure fns. The (.method object) and (SomeClass/method ...) forms are syntactic sugar, that expand to a special form: user> (macroexpand '(.method object argument)) (. object method argument) user> (macroexpand '(Class/method argument)) (. Class method argument) Perhaps the compiler could automatically wrap Java methods when they are used as a value, but that might not be easy or efficient to implement. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
