I think if you're potentially depending on reflection, being concerned about the "right kind" of mutable variable might be a little misguided. Probably better to use recur and pass the new value to the next iteration of the loop instead, if there's any way you can do that. Keep it local instead of mutable. — Daniel Lyons --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
